Porsche bikes?

mopar said:

I am registered on a Porsche (they also have Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen) site called TheAutobahn.com and I was searching the model guide, and I found bikes made by Porsche. I want one. I hope they still sell.

How badly do you want one? I own a Porsche FS mountainbike. It's great in that it goes exactly where you point it, but it's on the heavy side both, I assume, are due to the beefy Votec fork. I replaced the Sach's shifters and derailleurs with Shimano because - well - Sach's sucks. I enjoy riding it bacause nobody else has one like it.

I want one very bad! How much are they?

are you aware that Ferarri and Lotus make mountain and road bikes too?

Would you still want one if they were $100 from Walmart and everybody had one?

I'd rather have the Porsche, the Ferrari I want is the Enzo.
Note that I'm a BIG foreign car fan.

Me too, I am planning on buying a Dodge Ram...the one with the Viper V10 inside...

the worlds fastest production pick up...150mph, 0-60 in 5 secs..! 500bhp.

I've been trying to find a Lotus 110 for the past few years. So far, no luck.

If you're going to get a 2wheeled Porsche or any other car brand bike for that matter, just make sure it's designed and assembled by engineers, not Taiwan assembly line workers like the Hummer/Jeep/GMC bikes

MountainPro, I pictured you driving something more along the lines of a 40mpg Honda Hmmmm....

A truck is a great thing to have, since that makes room to take a bunch of bikes wherever you want 'em. Obviously, MountainPro has alot of bikes, and has somewhere he wants to get to with them, real fast...LoL

The car companies do not make the bikes. A bike manufacturer makes the bikes and puts the car company logo on it for them.

Licensing and merchandising my man.

Geesh Mountain Pro, how are you going to afford Petrol for that thing... don't you pay about $6/gallon... and aren't taxes outrageous on something like that on your island?

I am glad someone else burst their bubble... Not sure how bicycle people couldn't know that... these branded bikes are for status oriented folks who don't know jack about bikes.

So have you ever ridden or even seen a Porsche bike? It sounds to me like you're talking about something that you don't know jack about.

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but all BMW bikes are designed and built by BMW, granted, most of the designs are direct thefts from their motocross division, but that still means they didn't just rebrand anothers bike. This is why they look so different from all other bikes. I wish I could find BMW mountain bikes..since they are soo weird they are like "The other Cannondale".

Sorry Virginia, there is no Santa Clause. Porsche bicycles were originally rebadged bikes made by Votec, and are now just rebadged Storcks. Don’t worry the majority of non-cyclists won’t know so you still look cool driving around with it on your rack and posing at the bike path.

No bubble burst :p there are exceptions to every rule. I do remember them about 5 years ago... didn't they have some kind of wierd single sided swingarm front fork like on the Yamaha GTS motorcycle?

There is another I saw on Ebay not to long ago, it was different then that one. THe one your talking about looked relatively normal compared to the one I saw on Ebay. o.0 It looked like a skeleton compared to most mountain bikes, and weighed 22 lbs. It had a funky front suspension but I think it was different then the one on the Full suspension bmw. This one was a hard tail...I think. o0
