I have the big brother, the ZX10R Ninja and I can't fault it. 180 bhp [emoji83]
250R Ninja would be a great intro to the sports bike world imoSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@louisbosco most bikes over 600cc or so will do 0 - 60 mph (or 0 - 100 km/h) in three to four seconds. There's not a lot of difference between them, the sports bikes are quicker further up the speed range.
You'll probably find cars slow after recalibrating your brain.

Car shopping blows.

who does the blowing?

I'm still kind of in mourning. After twelve years and 232k miles, my beloved Sentra, crappy generic econobox though it was, has died. I had planned to keep it another year and retire it when it hit a quarter million miles, but the engine seized and now it's gone.
I'm going to have to buy something a little bigger, so the kids have some room in the back seat, but I haven't put any serious thought into it. I've have good experiences with Nissans over the years, so maybe a Maxima? My feelings for cars are about the same as my feelings for microwave ovens and I'd rather have teeth pulled than go car shopping, so there's no excitement in this at all for me.

I feel the same about car shopping. You can't get more boring and generic than honda. We've a CRV with well over 125k and all I've done is change the fluids and brake pads. Has a timing chain so that issue didn't arise at 80 or 100k. Great in the snow though if you get more than a foot it starts to be a problem because of relatively low clearance. Good room in the back seat unless you're over 6ft.

I just snagged a 2016 maxima. Hit me up if you have any questions.
I drove about 25 cars and "barrowed" 5 before deciding on the maxima. I chose it over the other full size sedans in similar price range. Perfect blend of space, aggressive style, fuel efficiency and cheap Insurance haha

I have a Mazda CX5, it's surprisingly spacious (I can fit both dogs in the back seat without them touching each other). Gas mileage isn't bad, and I like having all wheel drive. They have a good reputation for reliability.
I'm not much into cars at all, so I just needed a point a to point b car.

you're either a car guy or not a car guy. can't see any in between. the cx-5, is it the new generation ones with skyactiv?

yeah the skyactivs are brilliant. huge torque, high compression, great potential. the 2.5 3 is my current base for a awd turbo 'MPS/mazdaspeed' project.

Was at the hospital today. Glad I am ok. I am home now, after a huge Falafel and I bought 2 new records.
Nothing serious, but it was a damn strange experience. -
Glad you're okay and got some good stuff to get over it.
