I hope you aren't expecting unbiased opinions here!

But seriously that's what I do now. Have a POS daily driver and a bike that costs almost three times as much lol.

To me Bikes > Cars
I think most here would agree

You're crazy, nothing is worth public transportation. That said, spending money to make a Honda fast is a waste.

For drag racing, you can't beat the economy of a motorcycle. Buy an old early nineties 750 for $2000 and do 11's or 12's. It aint easy to find a $2k car that does 12's.

Your S4 might be able to catch my ITR in a drag race, if you didn't have to pull over midway through to put a quart of oil in.

Don't get a ricer burner crotch rocket. Once you hit 100 the wheels fall off and you die. Too dangerous.

don't get a motorcycle, they're too dangerous. you'll be muuuch cooler if you have a honda that is actually fast. just imagine if you made a bad move on a motorcycle, you'll be sliding all over the road and become road kill but in a car, you'll stay safe in your cage

Or you can work hard and have the best of both worlds

But seriously, a bike is fun, but its a different type of fun. You meet a different crowd of people, and you do things you typically do not do in a car, ie: are more prone to say "F it" and go cruise the twisties for 4 hours.

But remember that owning a motorcycle may increase your "image" if thats what you're after, it also requires an increase in respect for the machine you decide to purchase. Just use your head.

Don't ride cause you want the image or want to be noticed. Ride because you love to ride, period.
