Yeah, 5,000+ miles. I don't have that kinda cash, plus I can build myself a super sweet bike for $2,000. Nothing more than that is necessary...it's just the "look what I have" factor beyond that.



I stand corrected, I figured you had more sense than that but knew it possible to sink that kind of cash on a bike.

I'd have to agree with Horse on that one. Its not so much that the Benz is slow its just the gearing of the tranny and the weight of the car that make it feel that way. The motors are really very nice and very smooth but unless you get something AMG modded out with Renntech gear its going to feel.....'pigish'.. The BMW would be much closer to the sportiness you're looking for.

you can get even the bigger V6 and feel good about it - its just a good case of small engine lugging around big car, just like a 323 BMW.
