To be totally fair to the viper fellow...it was probably built to be a highway monster...because well
One Quick Snake: Stock 2008 Dodge Viper runs 10-second quarter mile - Autoblog
Some people can put them in the 10's stock. And 900hp to go .5 faster isn't the goal..hopefully anyway...
I lived in Fort Myers with a motorcycle for about a year, didn't take long to come to the same conclusion. Ended up moving to WNC to make the motorcycle make more sense, if I were in your shoes I would absolutely have a track bike only and be 100% OK with it. Worse case get something that could...
Doubting that will be the bike of choice. The power they seem to get out of the 1000's seem to be plenty without the cost of extra weight and size. The trade off in power wouldn't be worth it I think.
Yeah, figured I'd pull the ECU and harness for good measure, seems like an easily overlooked step. Thanks for the reminder, I've had several people mention that.
Not a clue, sequence of events went like this. Stopped the bike, kick stand down, left leg down, right leg swinging over the back...mowed down by motorcycle. I was so surprised that I didn't know what to do. I was 99% sure the stand dug into the ground..no such luck.
Picture update
A TRE is basically a giant resistor that fools the bike into thinking it's in 5th gear all the time. I've seen more than a few that are really cheaply made, better bet is a system that would offer actual adjustment rather than a work around like a TRE.
