If I ever end up doing it, it would only be for a couple of months in the summer, as I need to haul my Ducati748 around on a small bike trailer to somewhere remote where I can rev the $hit out of it

Getting a truck is out of the question for me, as I live downtown and the costs for parking 2 cars would be prohibitive.

isn't the car heavy enough as it is? adding a trailor is like adding insult to injury.




Sorry but I had to get that one in

I guess this is a dirt bike, otherwise why not drive the Bike to where you want to ride?

I'll post some next week. It's a red 2002 748 (mono), and only weighs about 440 lbs. And don't bother asking about the 0-60 numbersssssssssssssssssss

cuz I'd get a ticket before making it to the secret place!
but seriously, this bike is not the most comfortable for long rides.

I bought this bike to alleviate the wait for my 350Z, but to no avail. I got Z on my mind 24/7 ...

I'm totally w/ you. The hitch would certainly ruin the look of the back end of the car, sorta like a fine a$$ babe wearing Haines underwear ... unfortunately, I have no other alternative but to use the 350Z for hauling my bike.

Prior to pre-ordering the 350Z, I almost bought a 1999 996 C2. Boy am I glad I didn't. If the 350Z turns out to be as great a vehicle as it looks on paper, then I have managed to get a nice sports car PLUS a brand spanking new Duc at less than the cost of the Porsche. Although the 350Z's performance will never match that of a Porsche 911 (IMHO), I still think that pound for pound, the 350Z is a great compromise between price/performance/looks.

At one point in time I thought my Z32 TwinTurbo was fast. It was only 330 hp to the rear wheels at Stage 3 but I had never run into anything that could keep up with it around my area (outside of some/most sport bikes).

One day I found myself at a stop light and looked over and saw my friend next to me with his Ducati 996, fully decked with carbon fiber everything and all the go-fast goodies. After I took off thinking I would play with him a bit, I was in second gear at 15psi of boost and he decided to hit it. He literally motored past me like I was standing still. That's when I found out how fast a bike can be.
