Looking at individual sections this thing is horrible. But somehow it works all together. It's like the ultimate boxy/ wedge design. I dig it

Uhhh....no, the bike market is still nowhere near what it was pre-recession. Honda made a smart move bringing back the mini bike, all the other bikes you showed are following Industry trends already done by the other big 3.

Engines and equipment pretty much always get better, it’s to be expected, still a big price jump. At the time the 2.5 was the old 2.3 just bored out, good engine but much older, it only put out a few more HP than the Skyactiv. 

Wow! That starting price, yikes!. My 2012 Skyactiv 2.0 manual was 17k out the door. This looks nicer but still.

Pretty easy choice here, buy the base base model, save yourself 14 grand and buy a vehicle that’s actually fast. https://www.kawasaki.com/motorcycle/ninja/supersport/ninja-zx-6r?cm_re=GLOBALNAV-_-PRODUCTGROUPLIST-_-MPP

These bikes are nearly unstoppable with some slighty knobbier rubber. Yamaha finally has a direct competitor to the TW200 in the States. Even though Suzuki doesn’t market it that way and I’ve yet to see any kind of a showdown comparison.

Take your dam star

Sweet bike, I had an 81 CX500 for a while which was in essence a Guzi clone from Honda. Funny enough it had about the same HP and weight as V7 does. Loved that bike, got compliments all the time, The flying twin just looks so cool.

Geez, reminds me of when I was push starting my Rodeo one morning(starter only worked when it felt like it). It was sub zero and I slipped on some ice just as I was about to jump in. Never gotten up and ran so fast in my life, luckily I caught up to it and jumped in before anything happened. Realized a couple minutes…

Never said I lacked understanding, I said it didn’t make sense. Two very different things. 

Ugh I hate these things on motorcycle fairings, luckily on my ZX6R there only on the tail section but every time I’ve needed to take it off I had to buy a whole new set of them

This concept has never made much sense to me, This video of a small one way tunnel hasn’t helped.

The price of these in the States is beyond stupid. In Thailand these start at the equivalent of 15k USD and max  out around 30 fully loaded, 4wd, 4 door cab. Except for the Raptor which is around 50k.

Pretty much any of the Isuzu SUV’s are also great Value. Rodeo, Trooper,or Amigo are all great depending on what you want. Rodeo’s can be had with the manual, V6, and on the fly 4wd for under 3k all the time. Yes headgaskets can be an issue but at these prices throw some Blue devil at it and be on your way. Go for the…

The real question for this or really any other viable electric vehicle - Can it use the Tesla Charger network?

Bikes like this are only fun for so long, truth is there really just cheap basic transport. It’s fine as a 2nd or 3rd bike to put around the neighborhood or the pits. But to have something useful and enjoyable everyday you really need a 250 or better. Being regularly passed by every econo car on the planet and having…

Lol I used to have to roll these things around when I worked in freight, you can’t grab em with the forklift since it would damage the very expensive cable. It was always fun to try and get them lined up with the trailer and just let them roll in. Hilarious when they got away from a rookie and watching them panicking…

A state that actually believes in free speech?? What a concept!

The most overhyped bike of all time. The ZX12 was faster they just couldn’t get it into production before the gentleman’s agreement but de restricted it’s a 200+mph machine same story with the ZX-14, hell in testing the ZX-14 is bascially as fast as the H2 in stock form.
