What a Car!

Post by gogsyp » Fri Jul 10, 2009 7:46 pm

Just finished cleaning the car & went out for a quick blast to dry the brakes off. I was waiting at a roundabout & a Suzuki TL1000R pulled up beside me & he nodded, either in appreciation or was wanting a challenge; I took it to be the latter & booted it onto a half mile stretch of duel carriageway. To my amazement the RS kept up with the bike, he was only about a car length in front of when he had to brake for the next roundabout; I then flew past him before I had to jump on the brakes.
After owning the car for 6 months now it still impresses me with the sheer performance, I have defiantly found my perfect car!
:D

He couldn't have been trying, as a 1000 cc motorbike will smash a RS4 in a drag race!

I have a few speed markers on certain local roads and my GSXR1000 is way ahead,TL1000 is fairly slow by todays standards though,a good 600 will give it some hassle
