The Savage animal...
01/18/15 at 23:34:15
 
Let's play a game...
Let's categorize bikes by their animal counterparts... (based on power characteristics, and comparative size)...
I'll start...

Aprilia RS 50cc.... an angry bee...
Ninja 250... a rabid chipmunk...
Suzuki DR350... a bird dog...
Yamaha RD360.... a jackrabbit...
Yamaha SR500... a deer...
Harley Sportster,... a pitbull...
Triumph Tiger...  a tiger (of course)...(Triumph don't exaggerate)...
Ducati 996... a cheetah...
Broughs Superior... T-Rex... Grin...
BMW r1200 GS .... a rhino...
Hayabusa,...  a peregrine Falcon... (literal)...

a Savage?...  
... a warthog?... Undecided...

??? any other entries or suggestions?...
... every bike known to man must have an animal equivalent?... Huh...

I would say that maybe our bike is the "Phoenix".

A lot of them have been dead, and risen back up from the Ashes when the new owners breath new life into them.

Yeah,Stinger, once upon a time Petcock came out weird. We saw some odd ways to refer to them.

I like the warthog.  That is a pretty freaking tough critter.
This bike may snort and lurch at times too, but it is pretty tough as well.

Going back to the link above:

This is the main gun on that aircraft; that does not include any of the other weapons that can be hung on the 8 wing and 3 fuselage stations.  30mm 7 barrel cannon ... mmm mmm mmm.









YOU DO NOT WANT THIS AIRCRAFT HUNTING FOR YOU WITH ILL INTENT.

WOW!  I knew they were some bad mo dees, and called Tank Killers, but I didn't even have a Clue that they were basically built around a huge canon.
I've been at a target range and seen 20mm shells fired. The sound of the guns, followed by the sound of the brass,spinning,tumbling,as it falls..
How cool would 30mm be?
Yeah, call the bike a warthog, it's got more than meets the eye, it's tough.

In your 2nd photo that Warthog is putting the lion on his butt !

Just imagine those 30mm monsters flying out of that cannon at the rate of about 10/sec (600 rounds/min) ... that's my guess, I could not find a quote on the rate of fire.  That's going to eat up just about anything.

Does that thing really use the same round as the one with the picture of the shell in that guy's hands?  Can you imagine what that would do to the intended target?   Undecided

Yes, that is the shell, but the round is most often used is an aluminum sabot wrapped around a depleted uranium dart.

The warthog can fire that 10 rounds a second right through the side and top armor of any existing tank up through the very thickest very most modern heavy ceramic composite armored tanks of the very most modern armies.

A-10s ate all the old Russian armor for lunch using just the plain uranium penetrators.   It can fire special rounds now for the new modern army stuff (classified of course).    

Cheesy

We don't often discuss what we plan to do when we have to start shooting our own tanks or our allies tanks .....

Wow, I don't know what depleted uranium does; although, I suspect it hardens the projectile.

I thought the nickname for my other bike which is KLR dual sport is pretty good.  They refer to it as the "Tractor"; but, I think the "Warthog" is more descriptive and appropriate.
