TDI Galaxy was fucking fast too...
fast compared to what?

A 'normal' car. Such as a fiesta... or Zetec versions of the above...

Most modern diesels are pretty quick off the mark but calling them fast is a bit of a stretch.

Even things like a type r civic aren't that quick.

considering ive been riding superbikes for the last 4 years, and riding all sorts of others through my life, a car really aint that quick!

I went on the back of my mates cbr 600. One of the most frightening/enjoyable experiences of my life.

I wouldn't trust myself with a bike.

smaller, lighter, more power etc. makes sense.

Don't think a motorbike engine would be as efficient inside a VW Sharon...

I think car engines are a lot cheaper anyway right?
