Get your motor runnin'!!!!

There's really only a few things that get my mojo flowin' now-a-days.....a sick motorcycle or a Mercedes Benz. I don't know what it is about forms of transportation that gets me going. I'll cheat on a girlfriend with a car or a motorcycle before another woman. The reasoning is simple. Cars and motorcycles don't talk back. They don't care how late you've been out drinking. They could care less if we're hanging with the fellas watching sports and holding our genitals in an obvious display of male testosterone. They just want us to admire their smooth lines. Wax and polish them for hours on end. Feed them 93 octane because they perform better with it. That's all they want.

So during my daily web-wandering, I come across this extra sexy Mercedes Benz on PopularMechanics.com. When I say sexy....I'm talking Halle Berry sexy in Monster when Billy Bob was slangin' wood to her. I don't care what anyone says either, that was the sexiest Halle has ever been in a movie. "Make me feel good!" Yawl remember that scene. Anyway, while reading this article I thought about the convo I had with Nik Nik from Georgia. She was saying the same thing about it's funny how if a biker cheats on his girl, more than likely it's with his bike. So true that statement is because if my girl pisses me off, I'll just go to my baby and ride her all day. Well here's a picture of that Mercedes I was talking about. Sexy aint she?! This is fine piece of German engineering is the F700. The F700 is a prototype of the future for the wildly popular S-Class series Benz. This bad boy gets 44mpg, literally unheard in the luxury class of vehicles. Wait a sec....you telling me that this car gets 44mpg and is not a hybrid? Well, it is. The hybrid capabilities are the same as all other hybrid vehicles. However, this car sports a "completely new kind of internal combustion engine." Check this out even....this car has what is known as the DiesOtto Engine-a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 238 hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque (about the same as the current Mercedes 3.5-liter V6 or 3.0-liter diesel). Basically, if you think this car is a punk because it only has 4 cylinders, you are sadly mistaken. The F700 will go from 0-62 mph in only 7.5 seconds, while getting 44 miles per gallon and generating only 127 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer (just over half a mile). Don't know wheter or not Mercedes is gonna release this vehicle as the F700 or utilize the body style in future S-Classes, but I do know this car will cost a pretty peny.

Now onto motorcycles. The Kawasaki ZX-14 Ninja is a beast among animals already shredding the pavement on 2 wheels. I saw one of these the other day and almost crashed. This bike defines sexy. Now don't get me wrong, the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-R 1300 and the Yamaha R1 are two sexy bikes in their own right. This bike right here though.....let me just break down the details. It's powered by a 4-Stroke, 4-Cylinder, Liquid-Cooled, DOHC, 4 Valve Cylinder Head that's displacing 1352 cc. Top speed is estimated somewhere around 240 mph. Death on 2 wheels is right. But look at this bike. Everything about her says please move out of my way.....I am much faster than you are. What is so cool about this is, when I got the chance to talk to the rider who I saw on this bike, he was not modest at all in telling me about the functionality of this bike. He told me the fastest he got the bike to was around 215 mph and the acceleration was smooth the whole time. It was like he wasn't even shifting. He was too scared to go any faster. "Maybe one day I'll open her up and see how fast I can really push her." For his own sake I hope he opens her up with plenty of people around.
