Here's a better pic, the bike in the background is a harley for size comparison. Looks like a dragster chassis with a Viper engine crammed into it.

To call that rediculous or ludicrouse is still no comprehension of how out of this planet that is. The amount of tourque those engines have would never be able to be kept in control the wheels would continuosly lose traction into a wild spin my brother V rod does all the time.

A late model Sports bike these days weighs about 170 kg with a up to 190 hp. more power than wight they just raise the front wheel but I do not believe the bikes above would and if it did you would be in trouble as when th wheel comes back down the frame and forks could handle the impact.

These bikes above are show bikes and are amazing at that they are normally operational to ride on and off the trailor as the turning circle on them would be like a double bogie semi.

On the other hand a late model sports bike is another issue all together :P:(

Keeping the front wheel on the ground wouldn't be the biggest problem with any of these but stopping the torque-reaction throwing you into oncoming traffic or simply body-slamming you into the bitumen definitely would be!!

    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
    • Oh, right. In that case there is no rush. It's the car entries that are quite limited and can sell out quickly.
    • All I want to do is be a spectator and check out the cars in the show and shine
