0-60 1.9 sec :D

EVAR???
is that like pr0n?
-
Where'd you see the specs on it? Just saw the Dyno chart... nothing about 0-60. That website is painfull.

Sorry, it's a lame site. The 0-60 time was measured at a Solo 2 event with the car running ridiculously high gear ratios. They say it is in the 3 sec range with street gearing.

this one has way more class :)

GAZ-69.
An ultimate 4WD convertible.

:D :D :D
Who cares how long will it take 0-60 when the problem is to get from point A to point B?

Looks like a Jeep Commando..

that's all this world needs is another rice rocket where someone can claim that they're making xxx hp with naws. Come on guys obviously your 150 hp WRX, Civic, or whatever imported piece of crap wasn't made to handel 420 hp. Personally I think its annoying to have these econoboxes with the fart can mufflers. I'd rather have harleys with straight pipes or some mid 70's american car with just headers driving down the street infront of my house

GAZ-64, first Soviet 4WD "Jeep" was made after someone saw a faint photo of a "Bantam" in an "Army Munitions" (IIRC) magazine, in fact - before it was even tested.
Later Willie's Jeep became a nickname ("Villis", Âèëëèñ) for a 4WD for decades, replaced by "kozyol" (goat) for GAZ-69 and UAZ-469 that replaced it in 1972.
GAZ-69 is famous for the ability to go where any other vehicle gets stuck. UAZ-469 was not that trusted, but in mid-70s it have got to the Elbrus moutntain "saddle". In mid-90s British Land-Rover team tried to do the same thing, but failed completely ~1km below, at the "Shelter of Eleven", 4200m.
The only problem with "kozyol" is that it doesn't run without a sergeant who spends all his time laying under it ;)

kinda like my girlfriend !!!

To me, "riceburner" is a catch-all term to mean any vehicle that is done up primarily for image rather than performance. So a 420 HP Civic with no other changes is not a riceburner--in fact it is the opposite of a riceburner, it's a sleeper. But a coffeecan exhaust is a riceburner. And a harley is a riceburner too. ;)
Knew someone at work whose husband worked for Lotus, on the engineering side. Apparently Harley Davidson hired Lotus to fix up their engines. Basically the Lotus guys looked at these crap engines and of course it was quite easy to fix them. But when they were done, it was found that the new engines weren't manly enough or whatever, because they didn't misfire and backfire. They sounded like Japanese crotch rockets. So harley scrapped the changes. :D

Harleys are the greatest ricers ever. All show, no go.

No wonder all the owners hate them. Trust me, there's no substitute for cubic inches. :cool:

Theres no replacement for DISSplacement.

Actually the term "riceburner" refers to the country of origin of the vehicle. When I rode back in the '70s the term was only used for Japanese built motorcycles, at least in the groups I associated with. Later it started to be used to include the Japanese built cars.
That story about Lotus and Harley-Davidson is pure fantasy by the way :). Harley did go to Porche when designing the engine for the new V-Rod. Porche designed it with some Harley input and Harley builds it.
-
MArk be right.Riceburner was aimed at Jap rides.Had a girl that rode a fat boy that always called me ricer but she didnt miond rideing with that 1100 Shadow Ace Tourer.Little gal too.Never did figgure out how she handled all that bike.

This is the greatest car ever:

Harleys are amazing. How can something so loud be so slow?
-

sure why not? They are cheap to build, reliable and make great power. Plus they fit in damn near any car with a little work.

Yes, hence "rice". But as a term of disparagement, I believe my definition applies. :) The only reason to turn your nose up at a riceburner (if you want to turn your nose up at all) is because it is a shallow image car.

Yeah, it could be. She could've just been lying. ;) Still a good story though. :D What is your source?

Wierd. Why bother? Is there any new tech or design in the V-rod engine?
-
Go to Harley home page (http://www.harley-davidson.com/en/home.asp?bmLocale=en_US) and you can see for yourself on the technical aspects of the V-Rod engine. Pretty cool I thought.
Riceburner just told me it was Japanese built. I rode one, never really used it disparagingly.
-
people are confusing riceburner with riceboy. Funkypants is a riceboy. His car is a riceburner.

Here's what I saw:
Liquid-cooled, 1130cc, 60° V-Twin
Rubber mounted with single counter balancer
115HP @ 8500 RPM
74 FT-LB of torque @ 7000 RPM
Dual overhead cams
Four valve heads
EFI standard
5-speed
Two-tone cylinders with chrome covers
9000 redline
"Shaved" engine fins
Did I miss something? Doesn't look like any special tech to me.

That's cool, I was responding to folks that do use the term that way. ;) It really doesn't make sense to turn one's nose up at a grapefruit-thrower civic, and in the same breath talk about harleys and muscle cars. And 70's muscle cars at that. Good grief, the peak of gas shortage misery and low compression garbage. How bout them Gremlins? :D

You are right in that the specs are'nt neccesaraly special as compared to current engine technology but what is "special" about it is Harley's move toward that kind of engine in the first place. The mainstay 88 cubic inch (1450 cc) engine that is used on all thier big scooters is a two valve per head cam in block
undersquare engine (3.875"bore X 4.0" stroke) with a 5500 rpm redline.
Though a bit archaic in it's layout, it has been improved greatly from the earlier versions with new materials, head porting designs, induction and lubrication systems and most importantly (in my opinion) much tighter quality control.
These are not road burners. They really are designed with a relaxed type of riding in mind. Cruising. They eat up the miles on long trips and are basically bullet proof, something that has not always been the case in the past. It is a different experience and if you should ever get the opportunity it would be a worthwhile experience to try a Harley for a day or so :).

Baa, cars suck. Im gettn a new motorcycle.
