Reliable and cheap. I have had great results with minimal money spent though I would not consider my car "fast." It has also been very reliable though now that I said something I'll probably throw a rod through the block at track day. Oh, and fix the name of the thread

"Cheap" is a relative term

I would say reliable and cheap on the poll. But I don't think it has to be a bike to be all all the above.

Reliable because whats the point if it breaks all the time
Cheap because I did it cheaper than it could have been done
And I will say fast also because it's not as slow as a stock setup
