Yeah I love the new 300's. Been heavily considering one for a while now.
Speed limits here are 60 mph. So no need to go faster. And I don't need flip over backwards speed haha. It would simply be to save gas. Just can't decide if I want the risk involved. We got shit highways and crap drivers in the city. |
I'm toying with the same thing. They sure can save a ton of gas though. I did the math, and if I didn't touch my truck for a year, the bike would be paid for in gas saving. I obviously wouldn't do that, but it shows how much you can save with them. And that' figured at MSRP, not even discounts or anything.

i did the same. would only take a year for it to pay for itself for me as well. and thats with still driving the truck half the time lmao.
i spend 8-9 grand on gas a year. |
Yeah man, I got over 80 miles a day in my truck, plus my shitty mpg. At least I don't have your prices or I'd be screwed. It's about 3:10 a gallon in DFW right now.
|
Yeah, it's crazy up here. Going down slowly for winter though.
Whic doesn't matter haha. Use more gas in winter so it evens out. My parents were in Fargo last weekend. 3.49 a gallon there. That equates to .95 cents a litre up here. Our prices.... 1.22 a litre lol. Ah well. |

its not so much the other drivers, as it is the highways. theyre so bad. im talking, the truck jumps sideways on some of the bumps bad. and its the same on corners, straights, etc. i cant imagine it would be at all enjoyable on a bike taking corners on bumps like that. |
just dont lean too far. cmon now, bay area roads are not the greatest either. and gas is $4.05 here. metrically speaking, what the math? and get the damn bike already. both of you. maxx, the msf course will save you on insurance too.

here is another thing i found out when shopping for a bike. in the sportbike side, the bigger the motor the better the gas mileage...... i found that odd when i was comparing bikes. the 600 would get around 32mpg. the 750 showed about 37mpg. the 1000 showd about 42mpg. and the busa showed 50mpg. so i went with the busa. but since the smaller motors rev so high, 17,000rpm redline on some of them, i think is why they lose mileage.
|
gas just went down 6 cent a litre. WOO
hahaha its now 4.26 a gallon for 87 noah, 4.05 for me would be 1.10 a litre. except, ours always goes down for winter, since we end up using more. idling, warming it up, colder air = denser = more fuel. etc. evens out. i end up paying about the same amount summer/winter. |
ours dont fucking change...... kinda like maxxs underwear.....
|
yeah, yours doesnt change. its cheaper all the time haha
so i took the quad out today. it was a tad muddy out there. 3 hours of muddy backroad riding. now i gotta clean the damn thing. |
