    Try www.google.ie unless you need some sort of ranked list.

    I am actually looking for some list or at least a web site that deals with that... offcourse I tried goggle. but you would be surprised that you cant find 0-100 scores for a lot of well knowen cars and bikes..!?

    like what is the 0-100 of a citron Xara 99..? it is impossible to find... or a Toyota corolla..? or a Suzuki GS (motorbike)..?

    They are hard to find without knowign the engine size your referring to alright.


    A 1.4 Xsara is around 12.3s. A 1.6 9.4s.

    A similarly aged Corrolla will do it in 12.1 for the 1.3 and 9.9s for the 1.6 for example.

    fwiw, many years ago Kawasaki ran an ad for their GPz600R which (iirc) boasted it went 0-60-0 in 6 seconds.

    That was 23 years ago.

    If acceleration is what you want, and you're not a Sheikh (or an Anglo board member :rolleyes: ), then a motorcycle is unmatchable. Actually, it's pretty unmatchable at any price..............

    That GPz would fetch, now..............Eur 1000 ? And only if it was a good one !

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    you get get a hyabusa for free and turbo it...


    veyron matching performance with a noobie pilot...

    but legally - bikes are good but too unsafe.

    get something slow and good looking until you can handle a car Then and only then work your way upto the ferarri.

    well actually I had a Suzuki GS 500 but I wasn't blown away... it was nice not more then that (BTW it a great bike and I strongly recommend it).

    so I was looking (maybe a bit to extremely) at hayabusa bikes but they are very uncomfortable to sit on (wasn't driving just sat sown on a few stationery ones).
    so now I'm trying to find a new solution...
