700+HP motorcycles
I was told getting my beauty sleep was a waste of time.
1990 Astro (Z motor) mostly original @ 343,584 miles (552,944.8488960001 Canadian) (03/2008). Bad startup puff. Starting to spray for skeeters. Gone 06/07/08.
1993 Astro with a bad W motor. Parked next to a chicken coop in Talking Rock GA
I'm 'tween Canton and Holly Springs (North NorthWest of Atlanta GA)
I haul bottled water everyday- between 500 and 2500 pounds (226.796185 and 1,133.980925 Canadian) INSIDE the van.

Re: 700+HP motorcycles
Yikes!
I've never been afraid of bikes, but one of these would put me down on the pavement. I don't think I could resist laying rubber at every opportunity, and it looks like it would be real easy to get sideways and go down...
(But if I had unlimited funds, I'd probably buy a heavy set of leathers and buy one anyway...)

Re: 700+HP motorcycles
They're certainly cool, and I'd love to have one, but they ain't practical!
The weight of that thing has got to be crazy, perhaps as much, if not more, that a full dress touring bike. I've seen guys fall off they're bikes at stoplights who were unable to pick the bike back up without help. I can only imagine trying to upright one of those..

I can see hitting the throttle and having that leave without me, probably end up on my butt at the stoplight owwy
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.
