Couldn't help myself, had to have it... got a new toy.
Guess the Evo upgrading is on the back burner again...

sti deede · 2006-04-07, 07:13 PM

Wow Dustin! That thing looks awesome! Is that a radiator on the front portion, just behind the wheel?

kidatari · 2006-04-07, 07:16 PM

OMG luckyyyy!~

I wish I was made of money. Nice bike. Have you taken it off any sweet jumps?

ShawnS · 2006-04-08, 10:20 AM

MPREZIV · 2006-04-10, 06:36 AM

Mmmm... Mh900e... Good god that thing's sex! You lucky bastard! I don't know what you do for a living to have all those wonderful toys, but I am apparently in the wrong profession...

It sure doesn't take long to get used to the power, it does feel slow to me now. I would love to get some more power out of it but I don't think I want to blow the cheddar on that one yet. I'm gonna wait till the Skyline and the 10 hit the floors and If they have a marginal handling advantage I'll probably trade up to one or the other. The new "X" is looking pretty trick underneath...

(That is an oil cooler by the way, it's an air cooled motor on the MH)

Very Cool article. Yes Very Trick ! : The Evo X has even more computorized controls, Active Yaw, Active Center Diff controls, and Active independant braking.

Quote:

With the Evo X, Mitsubishi has further optimized response time of the AYC unit and fitted a new active-braking system that automatically takes over when the AYC/ACD's grip levels have been compromised, supplying braking force independently to all four wheels and restricting slide and sideways movement.

That feature could come in very handy while driving on snowy roads. Hopefully they also equip the active Brake feature with an OFF switch, although that would bug me to no end if i wanted to slide around and was unable to .

I second the request for more pics of the VW!

The V-dub isn't mine, it was the orig. owner of the bike's.

My vote is for the bike btw, the evo is a great car, and i'm sure its Fun, however a bike will allow you to have fun of a different flavor. Also if traffic is really bad, or you want to save on gas, the bike will be a great vehical to own.
