Picture Game

Your ninja next to a super bike!!

I do not see how this wins
a toy has no displacement and a 250 is lightweight sport bike.

Classes


The Kawasaki Ninja 250R lightweight sport bike.

The Triumph Daytona 675 triple is usually classed as a middleweight or supersport.

A Yamaha YZF-R1 998 cc (60.9 cu in) superbike.

Touring with a passenger on an open class Suzuki Hayabusa.
There is no universal authority defining the terminology of sport bikes or any other motorcycle classes. Legal definitions are limited by local jurisdiction, and race sanctioning bodies like the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) set rules that only apply to those who choose to participate in their competitions. Nonetheless, by present day standards in Europe, North America and the rest of the developed world, sport bikes are usually divided into three, four, or five rough categories, reflecting vaguely similar engine displacement, horsepower, price and intended use, with a good measure of subjective opinion and simplification. Marketing messages about a model from the manufacturer can diverge from the consensus of the motorcycling media and the public. Sometimes the classes used in motorcycle racing are approximated in production models, often but not always in connection with homologation.
The sport bike classes in common usage are:[12][18][19]
Lightweight, also called entry level, small or beginner bikes.[14][20][21] Some two strokes in this class have dramatically higher performance than the four strokes, being likened to miniature superbikes.[12] Sport bikes with engine displacements of up to about 500 cc (31 cu in) are usually in this class.[4]
Middleweight,[18] mid-sized, mid-level,[14] or supersport.[12] Some of the models in this range qualify for racing in the classes AMA Supersport Championship, British Supersport Championship and the Supersport World Championship, but many middleweights do not have a significant presence in racing. Displacements of 600–750 cc (37–46 cu in) are typical.[4]
Superbike,[18] liter-class, or literbike, i.e. 1,000 cc (61 cu in).[4] As with supersport, many of the models in this class compete in superbike racing.
Open class, hypersport or hyperbike[20][22][23] are terms sometimes used in lieu of superbike as a catch-all for everything larger than middleweight.[19][20][24][25][26] Alternatively, these terms mark a class above the superbikes for the largest displacement sport bikes with the highest top speeds, with weights somewhat greater than the superbike class.[4][8][27][28]
The terms supersport and superbike are sometimes applied indiscriminately to all high performance motorcycles.[29][30][31][32] Categorization by engine displacement alone is a crude measure, particularly when comparing engines with different numbers of cylinders like inline or V fours with parallel and V twins, not to mention the greater power for a given displacement of two-stroke engines over four strokes.[14]
In the less developed world, smaller engine sizes are the norm, and relative terms like small, mid sized and large displacement can have different meanings. For example, in India in 2002 there were about 37 million two-wheelers,[33] but as of 2008, there were only about 3,000 motorcycles, or fewer than one in 12,000, of displacement 1,000 cc (61 cu in) or more.[34] Similarly, the perception of relative sizes has shifted over time in developed countries, from smaller to larger displacements.[35] When the original superbike,[9][11] the Honda CB750, appeared in 1969, it was called a "big four,"[8] while today an inline four of 736.5 cc (44.94 cu in) would be classed in the middle range.
Besides having product lines that span from entry level through high end sport bikes, many manufacturers add depth[36] to that line by having pairs, or several pairs, of similar sport bikes aimed at riders of different levels. These are designed to appeal to riders seeking more or less extreme performance features. The more expensive model will be in the vein of a race replica, offering the latest technology updated with frequent design revisions, while the lower cost model typically relies on older technology, can have a more relaxed riding position, and is generally more practical for non-road racing tasks such as urban commuting and carrying passengers or baggage, and offering lower fuel, insurance and maintenance costs. Examples of these paired models are Buell's Firebolt and Lightning, Ducati's 916/748 through 1198/848 paired series, Honda's CBR600RR and F4i middleweights[8] and RC51 and CBR1000RR liter-class, several different concurrent models in Kawasaki's Ninja line, and Yamaha's R6 and 600R.[4]

I have the Bat Pod model that came with The Dark Knight Collector's Edition Blu-Ray. More "super," less "bike."

Oh hell thought this was the current challenge. Guess I need to check the forum more often!

Even had a really nice highway patrolman stop by to make sure I was ok.

So if no one gets it by the end of they day should we move on?

I'll take a pic of the reflection of my bike :P

If only there was some way of keeping the game going by bypassing stale challenges, without having to wait a week for a refresh...

[NevadaWolf]

We're on summer rules now, right? Three days to get a challenge before a new one is issued just to keep things moving? Superbike challenge was issued on the 14th so time's up.

I'm pretty sure someone said have 3 challenges happening at the same time, but apparently its too hard to copy two challenges and add a new challenge into a post.

A few of us said so, also many of us can not handle copying one challenge in to a post

I'm pretty sure only one person thought that idea was viable, while the other few, who initially seemed interested, exhibited animosity towards said idea based on the purported complexity and confusion that would result from such a change.

But alas, here we are:

3 > 1.

Get it together Ben.

[xSean13]

Let's be honest, keeping track of 3 simultaneous challenges isn't a great feat of intellect, so I don't see what the big deal is. The only issue would be people are just plain lazy, and if they're that lazy, then I doubt they'll be going out to seek out and complete a current challenge.

Oh phooey. :P might have to get creative on this one. Wonder what the highest available sign is... (still have snow and closed roads on the high passes.)

If you care vote.

I am offended being called lazy.
I think it is lazy to have 3 challenges you may feel like, maybe if I like it, well ok, this one, but not that one. I will just wait for one later that I may like.

Is this not already happening? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that a major reason of why a given challenge takes so long is because it is perceived to be too difficult to get. For example, I thought a family wagon vehicle thing was too difficult to find, so I chose not to do it. Since the challenge wasn't completed, I'm assuming most people shared this thought. So now everyone has to wait a week to wait for a new challenge before the game can move forward?

This only happened because people started playing favourites with submission acceptance. Some peoples "creative" submission got accepted like jiggles (flipping the bird at his bike) as a picture for of your bike with a bird. Where Arby3k submission of eating a hot dog/sausage infront of an establishment while on your bike, got declined because he wasn't sitting on his bike. So if we allow creative submissions only at the discretion of the person who made the challenge we have stupid waits not knowing if that picture is accepted or not.This way people can work on other challenges while one challenge is pending.

[Redneck farmer]

Al,
I don't think he was talking to you. I feel it was directed towards my "superbike", the Batpod. He was probably right. It does say to get creative, however the point is to get out and ride. My bad.

if the roads are dry ill try to snap a quick shot next to this tommorow

[LittleRedNinjette]

should we have judges then? Maybe have the submitter of the challenge and one other agree to accept a pic?
As far as how many challenges, 3 seemed like a lot but the idea of 2 may be a good place to start. See how it goes and add a 3rd if it goes well.

[NevadaWolf]

My two cents,
A) it's riding season everywhere, three days wait then new challenge.
B) anyone who snaps a pic, issue a challenge in the same post. If no arguments from majority on being grossly wrong, then move on with new challenge
C) the point is to get out and ride. If majority gripes that challenges are so easy, everyone is completing them in their garage, then think of something more difficult.
D) one challenge is fine if we just move on. If the submitted pic is blatantly wrong, then someone else go meet it. If it meets either the intent, or exact verbiage, accept the new challenge and go ride.

And something that was brought to my attention,
E). We are a global community, think of that when issuing a challenge. Granted yes, McD's might be world wide, but challenges that can only be met in certain countries, or specific regions, are no fun for the rest of us.

Relax, have fun, it's riding season.

I think it be better to have 2 threads going at the same time it be very simple to keep them apart plus give more game play.

Er, not sure specifically. I struggle when climbing cause of the length and grade. But I've not been aware enough to say "Hurm, my bike is running "something" poorer here than at the valley floor." Valley at home is almost 4k and I spend a lot of time around 5k. 8k just seems normal.

Now around 10k I start noticing problems with myself and the trucks. The decrease in power is enough I can feel the truck struggling for air.

Oops...

Great pics! I love that both pictures said a name with elevation. I've been to Navada 3 times, but only riding my board, not my bike.

Just a bump. Tonight I'll toss out this challenge and think of a new one if no one has posted a response.
