I keep hearing it both ways. Get a smaller bike to start and move up when you are ready, then other people saying to just get a 600, since you will end up getting one anyway. I think I would start with a 250 or something though.
#245
If you plan on taking long trips though. Like hour long to two hour long trips you'd probably want a 600. Last time my friend took his on a trip he had to draft off of me to get over 70 MPH because of the head wind.
I bet its nice. Luxurious compared to the fit I'm sure.

It really depends on how you plan on using it. For just a city bike and then running back roads on the weekends a 250 would be good. You can push the limits of the bike with out having to be scared of over doing it.

That things looks pretty. No HID's? I'm surprised. I'm
Sure it rides great. Any modification plans?

It rides amazing, im planning on some wheels 18x9.5 wrapped in a 255/45r18
and also an ecu tune by APR that will give me something like 250HP and 294TQ
(Stock with 93 octane is 216HP and 227TQ)
When I am actually going to do these im not sure, but definitely at some point.

Projectors come on the SEL with LED DRL's but the SEL is wayyy more money and not worth it for me.

Holy blue ball sack batman. That torque is very nice! How much does that tune run? About $600 or so is my guess.
Glad your happy with it

Great looking VW!!! Always liked the look, luxury & performance of the VW/Audi's, but the reliability has kept me away since my 5000CS Turbo. Still miss going 85+ and the car feeling like it was on rails and was begging to be WOT. Even at 125+ it still felt soooo stable.
Enjoy the new car (I know you will), just try not to get too many speeding tickets.

hehehe.. They're fast cars, and you don't even feel it... I used to always say "engineered for the Autobahn".
I'm in love with all the VW hatchback's, they look great and are definitely fast, especially the turbo versions.

Yep it does very very cool if you ask me

My old Audi used to have a button below the gas pedal for turbo. You could floor it just making contact with the button (turbo wouldn't come on) then once you're up to speed push down more on the gas pedal which would depress the button.... pause.... hear the turbo spool up, and then hold on tight.... I really miss that feeling.

OP: vehicle (whatever it is) looks good, thought you were getting a GTI though? I'll go back through the thread, maybe it says.

Its a 2012 VW Tiguan SE 4Motion, i had a couple phases I was going through...Awhile back I wanted the new Golf R, then I was looking at the Subaru BRZ then the new Tiguans. I know that they are all different creatures but I am more that certain that I love the tig the best. I was dying to have something bigger with more power and ground clearance. The 4motion, leather seats, full sunroof, built in navi, and plethora of other lux features doesnt hurt either

I was looking you up mainly because I just got my tax return and was gonna make an offer on the wheels in your sig....saw that they sold I guess.
Where did you get them?
