i know, but with a 70 mile commute everday, i think ill make it back in gas pretty quick 5/26/2006 2:20:50 AM |

Hate to do this to you, but say your car gets 20mpg, and the bike will get 45. Every day you take the bike saves 2 gallons, or 6 dollars To save 2000 you'd have to commute on the bike instead of the car 333 days. On average(winter including) I doubt you will be able to commute more than 3 out of 5 work days, so 333 days turn into 111 weeks, about 2 years. You would be saving the environment though 5/26/2006 7:08:55 AM |

your math is fucked i think
car = 20 mpg bike =45 mpg
commute = 140 miles
car commute = 7 gallons bike commute = 3 1/9 gallons
9 x 7 = 63 9 x 3 1/9 = 28
so for every 9 days (3 weeks in your estimation) he saves 35 gallons times $3
$105 per 9 days
105 / 9 = 11 and 2/3
that means he is saving almost 12 dollars a day just off gas which means he has to commute ($2000 / $11.6666) 173 days to equal it all out or 53 of your 3-a-week weeks
that is of course if he is commuting 70 miles each way
i could have misunderstood that part
i realized this after doing the math
and decided i had put too much work into this not to post it 6/8/2006 4:54:18 PM |
scrager All American 9481 Posts user info edit post |
173*2 is roughly 333 (346 actually).
so if the commute is half the distance you used, then it would take twice the time to make it back. 6/8/2006 5:37:39 PM |

new 600cc bikes don't get 45. More like low to mid 30's, but then again, how you ride affects how much gas you use. 6/8/2006 8:02:39 PM |

Well i did it.... i got an R6, its a 2004 red/black, and your right its fast as fuck. I havent even begun to get into the power yet, im taking it slow, ive only been to about 6 grand. But its worth it, i love it
BTW im glad i took the saftey course, it has helped alot, especially with the fundaments and confidence

Nice choice on the R6 and the color. I usually get mid to low 40's on my carbed R6, but a lot of it is highway commuting, and since that was the topic, I picked 45. Also I'm pretty sure 70 miles is round trip. 6/8/2006 9:47:28 PM |
JBaz All American 16764 Posts user info edit post |
I know the 600RR's have dual injectors so that could eat up gas when you rev the engine above 5k. 6/8/2006 9:51:06 PM |
toyotafj40s All American 8649 Posts user info edit post |
the hawk gets 45ish. maybe more. i cant clock it anymore since i took my tach off, going to upgrade that in a few.
about r6's if you stay outta the power band u can get mad good gas mileage.. but who wants to do that?
i rode an 04 r6 and compared to my 00 the off the line power was very nice. i got it up in 3rd gear (i dont try to wheelie bahaha) and it was fun.

I don't have much for that 929, but I sure as hell have never turned down a run. Actually I didn't ride at all sat. and only in apex on sunday.6/9/2006 1:09:17 PM |

nah this was directed to the red fi'd r6 that he just got. i did a roll one with my carb'd r6 with the 929.. it was nasty on the highway. i felt like i was going nowhere! but from a dig it's easier to get full on the r6 earlier than the 929. 6/9/2006 1:12:43 PM |

i kept it for 4 reasons
1. it's too much fun 2. people kept repeating what i said in the ad when i brought it to them. then they would offer me some ngr price like 1500. i told them to find a faster better running sport bike with a title for that price, and then i would leave. i also realized i wouldnt be able to find a sport bike that i know everything about have a buncha spares for for this price.. 3. i found a buncha parts on ebay cheap for it. so im going to take the cage off, put some decent fairings on and rock it like that. 4. having 2 bikes is too much fun. 6/11/2006 1:27:14 PM |
