RB, you are right....they are impressive, but I think they run around 35K, that in itself pushes it way out of my league.....

How about one of these? It's a Smart Car with a GSXR 1000 engine that's been modified to 160hp. A Smartuki. If I wanted to go that fast, I'd rather be on the GSXR.

I got to ride / drive one at a demo day. They are a lot of fun and I wouldn't mind having one but I would not get rid of either of my bikes to make room. The dealer here in Bradenton is selling them for around $15K.
Yer wanted by the police and my wife thinks your dead.
