i ride a sportbike daily so i have a concept of what it'll be like but still some differences in the two.
the bike revs to 11k and is geared way tall(its a v twin so plenty of torque) and wheelies which i doubt the car will unfortunately :evil:

just the stock 14b right now and wont go bigger than a 16g unless i would blow the $$$ on a stoker kit :D but not likely to ever happen. i realize i can get smaller tires or even just downshift. i've never changed gears or had any big projects with this much customized options so its all trying to ...

Soljah, i'm with you. i'm dont like rev happy quick shiftin setups either. i dont know the gears in a d50 so i can't compare to mine. my stock 4g starts waking up at about 2500 so i figure if i can get that to match to my usual cruising speed, i'll be in business. and i'm aiming on a 1500lbs curb ...
