Heh... it’s on my list for my post-500F test rides.

A 2014 500F was my *second* two-wheeler, the first being a 2007 Ninja 250. Honestly, I could have started on the 500, it’s that docile of a bike.
C’mon, there’s no adventure to be had when your Japanese bike breaks down and you can find parts and service just down the road in 90% of the globe. LIVE LIFE ON THE EXXXTREME EDGE!
Great to hear. Looking back at my post, I know it looks like I’m starting some brand-bashing urban legend shit, i.e. “All Hardleys are suxxor!!1!”. But no kidding, it’s either a crazy coincidence or there’s something to it, the last five times I was in for service on one of my bikes, I was just behind or just ahead of…
Still a beautiful bike, but my question is, do they build it better?
Yeah, that’s always been one of the most glaring logic errors in Star Trek. I have a device that can transport matter from a distance, I’m turning an enemy ship into swiss cheese. “Oops, you didn’t want that bulkhead keeping you from explosive decompression, did you? Or how about that shielding around your warpcore—…
I can’t say I’m surprised by the number of people here arguing that this isn’t dangerous because the child can’t steer the motorcycle, ignoring that in this situation neither can the father. You don’t steer a motorcycle by leaning, you lean a motorcycle by steering (h/t physics).
Either Terrence Malick or Alejandro Inarritu please.
True fact: Ducatis are pretty Italians, but Moto Guzzi makes beautiful Italians.
Even with their high cost, with an estimated price tag on average of about $1.1 billion dollars per satellite, and much more when research and development is factored in, the capability SIBRS provides has become more of necessity in recent years.
- 98 percent of Coloradans and 97 percent of Nevadans surveyed believe it is important to protect National Forests, National Monuments, Wildlife Refuges and other national public lands.
Now that everybody has the obligatory references to The Core and The Abyss out of the way, I’m going to go one deeper:
Thing is, looks aside, it’s practically a standard seating position, plus it’s low enough that all but a midget could flatfoot the thing. Light as a feather, too.
NIATA.
Ditto. BMW would be smart to never introduce this here in the U.S. As much as I love small bikes, and enjoy the recent bounty of 250-400cc options in a marketplace long starved of those choices, the fact is a “baby BMW” makes no sense here.
You think they’re sparkly going out, you should seem them going in.
Several advantages:
Validating our long-range nuclear ballistic missile capability to the world may sound morbid, as using that capability operationally would probably mean the apocalypse, but it is entirely necessary.
