If I had a few million dollars, I would just plonk a twin turbo Barra (with 6-1 headers) into a Superlite SLC or maybe a Skyline R32

[pseudo gull]

my main issue with the cc850 is the steering wheel

the boss isn’t centred

[twin belfry]

I think the thing that really catches my eye is that gated shifter

[jagged crater]

The boss has pretty much allways been off since the Agera at least

[twin belfry]

Gordon Murray and Christian Von Koenigsegg know what’s up when it comes to supercars

[jagged crater]

The car industry is surprisingly nuts for the supposed doom of the future

[twin belfry]

Aston Martin’s Valkyrie, Valhalla, and Victor
Ferrari’s Daytona SP3
Gordon Murray’s T50
And so much more

[pseudo gull]

on the vague topic of aston

i guarantee you they’ll trot out with a car called the valiant in the next few years

[twin belfry]

Aston would 100% use ‘Valiant’ as a mode name

Imagine if Aston Martin created a car more powerful than any Aston ever made and a car that can outdo the Valkyrie (in both production and racing spec).

I bet they’ll call it the Aston Martin Venom

[pseudo gull]

i don’t think venom suits their naming

valiant would because it’s another of the V-Bombers, like vulcan and victor

[twin belfry]

So that explains the naming scheme

[pseudo gull]

yep

they either go for a V name or a DB name

[digital brook]

Valiant probably

[twin belfry]

I know this doesn’t fall under the naming scheme, but I feel like Vigor would be a good name for an Aston

(That or Vertigo)

[digital brook]

It would be actually

[pseudo gull]

vigour more than vertigo

[formal silo]

So, this is the engine bay of a Czinger C21. The brand, Czinger, lets an AI design the car, hence the weird looking structures you see there. They also use 3D metal printing to achieve those shapes. However, I have a question that someone here might be able to answer. What's with the "diamond-shaped" exhaust covers? Why do they look like that? Does it have to do with any technology I'm unaware of?

[ancient scarab]

my guess would be for heat dissipation

[jagged crater]

I assume alot of that is just styling and to use the use of Inconel 3D printing

Tho it could be to allow venting also

[hollow moth]

Could be venting and reducing weight

Yeah but the fact it isnt overheating is a miracle

[winter yarrow]

Fair enough lol

[vapid aurora]

Who and why

Corvette is just an LS engine with some car bits bundled in for free

Why would you swap that for anything else, let alone the least reliable engine in the history of universe

Anyone have any experience with KTM’s 390 series of bikes?

[pseudo gull]

i have a little bit, what do you need to know?

[fossil gulch]

Are they any good or are they just a POS

[pseudo gull]

yeah they’re pretty good

[fossil gulch]

People keep saying that the motors are unreliable but I’m not sure if that’s just overblown or factual

[pseudo gull]

they had some head gasket issues

new ones are fine but for a while they weren’t that well built

the best of the bunch is the husky svartpilen 401, if you’re looking at buying

[fossil gulch]

That looks cool but there’s like none available on the used market near me

There’s a few duke 390’s or adventure 390’s

[pseudo gull]

ahhh shame, they’re great bikes

what years are the ktms?

[fossil gulch]

I think 2017ish

[pseudo gull]

okay they’re in head gasket issue range then

as long as they have a decent service record they should be fine, but it’s definitely something to ask about if you go and look

[fossil gulch]

I just want something that’s not a ninja or CB

But that’s all that’s available that isn’t stupidly old or a gold wing for my price range

But would you know what year ish the KTM’s stopped having head gasket issues

[pseudo gull]

2020-ish was when they fixed their quality control

not every pre-fix engine will be shit, there’s just more of a chance

[tawdry badger]

Is the new c63 split turbo?

What is the ‘f1-derived’ tech?

you can buy maybach's for cheap now

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2004-maybach-57-10/

sold for $29k

[pseudo gull]

for the low low price of 29k, you too can own one of the most repulsive cars on the road!

[ancient scarab]

yep i remember when they did this and was all why?

looked at them new at the dealer

they were so stupid expensive

i can't imagine servicing one now

now they're ghetto hood rides

[fossil gulch]

It can’t be any worse than the VM phaeton right?

120k car that you can grab for around 10k

[ancient scarab]

VW phaeton is essentially a Bentley

super expensive to maintain

the w12 is unbelievably complex

[plain carbon]

Phaeton is a Bentley that depreciates harder than a range rover or a BMW i3

[ancient scarab]

yep - you can pick em up cheap, they're majestic motorcars, but will cost coin to keep reliable

kinda like my 24V GTI

nothing is easy to repair on this car

[pseudo gull]

the main problem with the phaeton is when that engine dies, it’ll be crazy expensive to fix

[ancient scarab]

thankfully VRs are very durable mine has 235k miles on it and still runs strong

it's all the fiddly stuff around the engine that's hard to keep in service

plastic cooling system parts

complex electrics

[plain carbon]

It's gonna be worth more than the car at that point

[pseudo gull]

oh 100%

cars depreciate like a bus falling off a cliff

all luxury cars do, but the phaeton is one of the worst

[frail badger]

Npoooooo

It looks good from the spy shots at least

But the Aventador is just iconic.

[fathom rose]

A Hybrid V12 is the coolest fucking thing in my opinion

You still get a Natural Aspirsted V12 and a battery unit to give extra power

[ancient scarab]

http://www.speedhunters.com/2022/09/the-group-d-audi-s1-l

[ancient scarab]

imagine needing more power with a lambo v12

[fathom rose]

never enough

[ancient scarab]

say the kids who have never driven

[fathom rose]

Not a Lambo...

but I've driven other equally powerful cars

[ancient scarab]

such as?

[fathom rose]

McLarens, Ferraris

[ancient scarab]

ive driven ferraris and lambos, but not modern ones

[fathom rose]

I've riden in Lamborghinis, but never experienced it from the driver seat

plus they’re luxurious as fuck, they use the same leather rolls uses

3.4 seconds to 62, as well

[pseudo gull]

[fathom rose]

the e31 is one of my dream cars

as cool as the new 8 series is, i don’t think it’s quite on the same level

id kill for the alpina one though

[fathom rose]

Alpina is crazy expensive

[pseudo gull]

yeah

[fathom rose]

I dont see myself buying a modern day BMW, too many issues

[pseudo gull]

yeah same

if i was looking at a modern-ish one i’d 100% be looking at a last gen m2 comp

£7.99 per month and you can use the gearbox

[fathom rose]

wait until youre doing 70 in the highway and car goes "your free trial has expired"

[pseudo gull]

that’s why no bmw drivers use their indicators, they just don’t want to pay the fee

[fathom rose]

it all makes sense

This is why you buy a Honda

[ancient scarab]

i have no desire to own a bmw let alone a modern one

i really liked my e30 though

I also just remembered that one Top Gear challenge where the trio used 1980's Beemer convertibles

[ancient scarab]

i put a lot of time in that car

it was so fun to drive

and it was the M42 1.8L so it was economical and revvy

that 16v is a superior engine to the oldass inline 6 the 325s had

Hearing all of that makes me appreciate it more

[pseudo gull]

r1 is miles clear of the gixxer

[tulip bramble]

yeah if I were to choose between an R1 or a Gixxer, R1 is a clearer choice for me

something just doesnt click with the Gixxer compared to an R1

However, 2022 gixxer in Grey is a beaut

[digital brook]

Is that the Stratos Prototype?

[cyan wind]

the 2nd one made me think it was an r1 for a split second

[tulip bramble]

Its the blue wheels

and check it

5k usd cheaper than the other V4 I sent earlier

[tulip bramble]

true that

Gsxr600 still has that 3 spoke design

looks very 2000’s

[jagged crater]

It has the weird alien aesthetic which was like prime 2006 edge

[jagged crater]

Today I learnt I can get a based 90's 250 for a paycheck and a half

The Bertone designed Alfa Romeo 33 Carabo

[tulip bramble]

has that less aggressive look compared to an R6

everything looks smooth

I have mixed feelings for it

Too plastic looking

Spotted this range rover on the highway today.
Correct me if I'm wrong is this the velar? Cause this the first I'm seeing this in real life and it was so sleek looking.

[tawdry badger]

should be a velar

[plain carbon]

For a coupe SUV, it looks cool

The ayrton senna oke is quite interesting. I went for a private tour with my dad to this place where they buy old f1 engines and turn them into coffee machines.

The engine in this photo was one of ayrton senna's

But they sell these coffee machines for mega money

So I don't think I'm buying one any time soon 😟

[cyan wind]

wow, that's a very good find

[hybrid plume]

Vintage Fest always has good finds

[cyan wind]

yeah I love those classics

ninja GPZ is my personal fav

[hybrid plume]

It was just a matter of saving in advance this time instead of like last year, it was an 84 KZ700 with restomod work and a rebuilt engine w less than 500km on it, $2800

And I had to pass because the cash was in the wrong account... But I'm glad I did lol

[fossil gulch]

Man’s quite literally taking an L

But a 125 is too small for most people

I’m surprised that your courses are on such small bikes tho

Here it’s all 300s for the yard/closed circuit portion and 500’s for on-road courses

[cyan wind]

it's my actual license not just the course

i'd go straight to 300 if i could

[fossil gulch]

How does that work

Are you only allowed a certain number of CC’s as a learner

[cyan wind]

you do a CBT, get your 125cc license

so you cant ride anything bigger than 125 until you've rode one for 2 years

[fossil gulch]

Oh oooof, I can buy a H2SX immediately after my course

[cyan wind]

fucking hell

we have to go through years

i can only get a thousand at 21

[fossil gulch]

I can ride any bike I want BUT not between 12:00 and 05:00 and not with a passenger for a year until I get a full license

[cyan wind]

why the time thing? Pillion makes sense, but a curfew seems a bit wack

[proud temple]

What do you ride atm?

Cuz H2SX is alot of power, im just a fellow rider worried about others safety, thus why j ask

[fossil gulch]

ninja 400

[proud temple]

I ride a teeny tiny 2022 RC390 and my dad a Z1000SX, so ofc i love the SX line

Ey 400 class buddy

Beutiful kawa

[fossil gulch]

I wanted a 650 but insurance go burrrr

[proud temple]

I wanted a kawa 400 but we couldnt find any decent ones in our price range

[fossil gulch]

Nice

[proud temple]

Plus my dad wanted to try out a different brand and the 2022 RC had potential

[fossil gulch]

Yeah, they are surprisingly hard to find

[proud temple]

Im just wheelchair bound atm

[fossil gulch]

Even tho there’s a million of the fuckers

Oh ooof

[proud temple]

I wish i could ride rn but yeah knee go brrt

[fossil gulch]

Hopefully not related

[proud temple]

Wdym

[fossil gulch]

Hope the wheelchair isn’t related to a motorcycle accident

Is what I ment

[proud temple]

Also H2SX might be a tad big of a jump from a 400😂

[proud temple]

No no luckily not

[fossil gulch]

The joke I had with my dad was that I’d buy a Hyabusa lmao

[proud temple]

I have had an accident before with my old 125...

Sorta kinda got scrapped😂

[proud temple]

My dads looking at the new gen 3s

But hes waiting for prices to drop so he can trade his Z1000SX

[fossil gulch]

Oh nice, mine has a S1000XR and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be his last bike

Unless BMW makes a bigger one

[proud temple]

My uncle who lives in our granny flat has a ZX-14R

S1000XR is a nice bike

My uncle with the 14 rides for a local club which has a veriety of bikes

[fossil gulch]

It’s the closest he can get to an S1000 without his knees screaming

[proud temple]

One dude owns a R1250GS 2 1290 superduke R's and a 2019 H2

Mans a baller

[fossil gulch]

The guy I bought the 400 from has 19 bikes

Because why not

[proud temple]

Tall guy?

I mean

Cant go wrong with a 400

[fossil gulch]

Jumped outta airplanes for a living. No more cartilage, he’s not that tall

[proud temple]

Everyone still compares the ninja 400 to the old RC 390 and it sucks cuz the new one has so many new stuff

[proud temple]

Ohhhh

[fossil gulch]

Thé RC 390 is hella sexy but KTM seems to hate short people

[proud temple]

Embarrassing story but on the first day of riding the RC i had an oopsie😂

Was pulling away and me new to clutch like a dummy stalls

[fossil gulch]

Less embarrassing to have it on your first day than a year in

[proud temple]

Put my right foot out and it slipped on gravel💀

[cyan wind]

dont worry on my CBT i stalled 3 times on one turn

because i had it in 2nd and didnt know

[proud temple]

No major damage just a tiny mark on the fairing where an angle is and the crash protection that comes stock saved the bike

[proud temple]

Sound like me a few weeks ago on a hill never have been taught a hill start

[cyan wind]

i dropped the bike i was using on my test manually reversing it, it was so graceful too because i had grip but couldnt pull it up with enough strength

[proud temple]

My dad just threw me in the saddle and bid me good luvk

[cyan wind]

yeah my teacher just said to do a hill start

he told me how to do it but i was just like "oh, okay "

[proud temple]

Fax

[fossil gulch]

Ive thankfully never crashed yet but my instructor didn’t pay attention and hopped a curb and landed in a ditch while teaching

[proud temple]

My dad turned around cuz whenever i stop i automatically use front brake

[cyan wind]

yeah im super used to just using front brake, my teacher had to remind me alot to also use rear

[proud temple]

And he told me to use the rear and i cant feel the rear since i have thinck sole boots, was not fun

Got away eventually after alot of unwanted effort

[fossil gulch]

My boots where barely small enough to get to the clutch on the rebel 500 I learned on

[proud temple]

But for my knee, i was getting into my car and the kneecap decided its no longer allowed to stay in its socket

[fossil gulch]

Had to kick my foot in to shift

[cyan wind]

i went with trainers and my teacher said to rent out some boots from then and said fuck it and did, and im glad i did

because i know trainers would be annoying as shit with gear changes

[proud temple]

I wear the boots cuz thier comfy made of leather, have a steel toe cap and i wont get hurt if anything happens

[cyan wind]

yeah i was a bit naive with only trainers

[proud temple]

My dads my trainer

[fossil gulch]

I’ll probably snag a pair of combat boots tbh

[proud temple]

My dad and my motorcycle club uncles, love them to pieces

Prob gonna join the junior club early 2023 once i can ride again

[cyan wind]

my only issue now is honestly just clutch control

[proud temple]

Smae

[cyan wind]

i'm so used to ac where i can just dump the clutch and still go

[proud temple]

The rc has a really tight clutch and a small biting point so its do or die💀

[cyan wind]

but honestly i'm quite surprised how quickly i got used to the shifting and braking

[fossil gulch]

When you think you’ve shifted into 2nd but you’ve just kicked into neutral 🗿

[proud temple]

I thought it came stock with a quickshifter, after the first day, i discovered it was optional, luckily i noticed gear shifting was wonky and used clutch anyway😂

[cyan wind]

i genuinely shit you not i was sitting for like 3 minutes trying to find neutral

[proud temple]

Hits the rev limiter in most accidental aggressive way possible

[cyan wind]

i also clicked into neutral accidentally like 2 times

[proud temple]

I luckily havent

[cyan wind]

it's funny because it wasnt even like a false neutral thing, my foot just accidentally hit it

[proud temple]

Since i cant ride my dads been putting some km on the rc for me and he straight up said you can have the 1000 ill ride the KTM

[proud temple]

It happens to the best of riders

[cyan wind]

i'd die on a 1000

[proud temple]

Same

I tip toe the 1000 so its gonna be extra tricky

[cyan wind]

i'm now reconsidering my options

[fossil gulch]

Honestly, I don’t see a point in a 1000 tbh, it’s just heavier and more expensive than a 650 and you aren’t gonna use the extra power on the road

(Cruisers and touring are exceptions)

[cyan wind]

i hate the idea of tip toeing, it makes me feel so uneasy lmao

[proud temple]

Also btw the 390 isnt as high as you thought@fossil gulch i sat on a 400 and found them to be around the same seat hight

[cyan wind]

just because of the fact i cant flatfoot

[proud temple]

Yeah

[cyan wind]

but i could probs flatfoot most bikes being 6'2

[fossil gulch]

Idk, I sat on the 390 adv and that’s a mm or two smaller than the giraffe known as the Africa twin

[proud temple]

If i tip toe i usually put my foot on the rear and lean a litttle left to atleast have 1 foot flat

[cyan wind]

between the honda cb125r and the '19 yamaha mt 125

[proud temple]

Probably

[cyan wind]

i really like them both

[proud temple]

Nakeds have high torque lower speed where sports style have higher speed but less jerky torque

[cyan wind]

yeah

i couldn't fit on a sporty 125 even if i tried

[fossil gulch]

And sports can go on the highway without being miserable

[cyan wind]

lmao

[proud temple]

Try an adv, thier taller bikes and they arent as bad looking
