I tried the latest 170 hp 1100cc V4 Diavel.
Probably the most hooligan bike I've ever ridden. Totally insane honestly, the strange thing to me was the fact that I revved it till the limiter in every gear ad in full anger on some really short twisty roads without ever feeling out of control. I guess the electronics are doing a great job.
Picture overload ! Favorite car/moto pictures.
I could post a thousand pictures because I don't really have any favorites. So here is a compilation of around 60 pics, not the fastest cars or most expensive in particular. Just pictures I took or where I was driving, just random cool car and bike stuff....
What a mega-set of pictures!
My favorites are you next to the 3-Series, the Mini Cooper racecar driver in full gear, the vintage Aston, and of course you trail-braking on the Honda CBR in multiple shots, along with the beautiful Bimota YB9SR - what a pretty bike, especially for its t...
That Bimota was indeed a beauty.
Came out in 1994 , the same year the Ducati 916 hit the market. In my opinion the two most beautiful bikes ever made. Oh boy, you can't imagine the stupid stuff I did during those 4 years and 40.000 km I took it out racing on public roads.
Yes ! Although the craziest bike ride ...
.. was in 1996 in the French Alps with my CBR 600.
Great pictures of some wonderful cars.
My favourites are the white 930 Turbo from when Porsche where still real drivers cars followed by the Mini at the race track which brings back memories of a truly insane 1380 Cooper S I had that i had real problems stopping between a set of traffic lights...
930 ,easily my favorite here too tbh.
The green Mini is a 1360 or 1380, 125 hp and herb weight of 600 kilos. I once had to follow it with an E55 5.5 AMG and could barely keep up ... on public roads off course ;-)
Truly !
But honestly this is maybe 1/100 of what I have in my memories. So many more ! ...
748 SP
Picture taken a few years ago, I was amazed how slow this bike now feels. There was a bicycle race going on and they blocked the streets so I decided to 'park' the 748 in the middle of the street to take some cray pics.
Awesome
Thanks for the reply. Thought it was a 748. Not sure I've ever seen a yellow 916. Great bike, SP even.
YRS 748, not a 916
There were yellow 996, not sure if there were yellow 916 .. Getting complicated LOL
So many more.
Thinking about it I am amazed I'm still alive ... must have passed the 200 kph on the speedo at least 10.000 times LOL
Just two questions:
1) Why is that man leaping over his motorcycle? 2) Isn't that a dangerous curb to be sitting on?
I was thinking the same thing about where he was sitting😳
And the guy flying off his bike was amazing timing…but I hope he was okay afterwards.
Highsider as they call it.
1) Going in the corner and then going on the throttle a little bit too early. The back wheel pushes the bike while the front wheel doesn't want to cooperate yet ... it kicks you off the bike like a horse would kick you off his back. 2) No .. , no races th...
Neither will I! 1L is too much bike for my skill level.
Even 800cc is pushing it, but I'm willing to do the work 😉....
I had a go two months ago !
I must say I was very impressed ! I love it a lot and wish Ducati would bring a 100 hp sports bike. I also tried the new 120 hp V2 Panigale and Streetfighter but they are more serious .. a bit too serious still. ...
It looks fantastic =)
To be perfectly honest, it would have been a more appropriate first sports bike for me to buy, but I love MVs so damn much that I couldn't help myself , now I have to wait for good timing to take it to a beginner-friendly track day in order to properly le...
Just be careful !
These modern bikes are actually very very easy to control, even for beginners. But pay attention to: 1. Don't get overconfident too early, learn to handle the bike fluent at a 'slow' pace. I often ride/drive pretty slow going fast .. no hesitations, fluen...
Wiser words have not been spoken!
I agree with everything you pointed out my friend, and that's precisely the reason I didn't go 'balls-out' into LA traffic. I need a suburban area or a closed circuit to 'gel' with the bike first, and only then slowly start to discover the performance env...

Actually I have no clue :-)
That was back in 2016 at the Le Mans classic. We stopped alongside the road at a local café watching cars go by. ...
A truly epic selection 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻🏁
So many so fabulous ones. Just one question, what’s the significance of the A4 Avant in one of the shots? 😊
2007 Audi A4 Avant 2.0Tdi - 136 hp Multitronic.
Bought it in 2007 and still have it in the fleet, doing around 3.000 km per year . Yesterday I took it out for a drive and tried to accelerate fast ... went into limp mode. The car ow has a bit over 200.000 km and it never missed a beat or had any issues....
Nice 😊
I remember it being on the old school Audi tradition of the hood rising during acceleration and practically scraping the floor when you applied the brakes vigorously 😊 But from the relatively bomb proof era of Audi 👍🏻🦾
That was before this one !
I remember driving a lot of 2.2 and 2.3 Audi 5pots and even some 2.8 V6 as courtesy car. The sound of the 5 cilinder was just amazing. And yes, they moved a lot up and down but were quite fun to drive honestly.
I remember Test driving the V6 diesel of this generation…
During a sharp braking maneuver I thought the front was going to scrape the tarmac as much as it dove down. Like a Buick Riviera from the 1960s 😂 The S4 from the same generation was much better in this respect, the RE4 a wonderful car 👌🏻👍🏻
That reminded me of two more from Hilton Head Concours
