Nothing groundbreaking about that.I've suggested the same many times with respect to motorcycles (supermoto and Japanese gray market 250/400s for example).Does this mean there's an imminent sale of the RC51 and Triumph? Or do you only subscribe to this belief with respect to cars? For me, I'm the opposite. I like the torque of a NA V8 on the street for a car (because it's useful in normal everyday driving too) but a more minimalist approach to bikes these days (supermoto).You have to admit though...surfing an epic tsunami of torque in the C63 is pretty damn amusing!! (or for that matter the luscious pulses of the RC51). And I'm with you...would totally dig an S2000!I'd always wanted to own a C63, so wanted to tick it off the bucket list. But as far as driving it, it was frustrating to never really get anywhere near its limits. Part of the reason I sold it, as I said in that thread.I bought the RC51 on a whim, and because I think it's a classic, and I wanted a supersports bike with less power than a new one. Agree that I'll never get anywhere near the limit on that, but I just like the way it looks. No idea what you are on about with the Triumph, it's fairly pedestrian. But I suppose you want to argue about everything as usual.I guess I'll try 4 smileys next time to get the lighthearted nature of my post through...2 wasn't enough, apparently.
