Because rain is a thing.

You meant “impossible,” not interesting.

Have always felt a sumo is the perfect candidate for an electric motorcycle: nobody sane tours on a sumo so range is irrelevant— “How far to the nearest abandoned industrial park?”— and instant torque is very much a sumo thing.

What I truly want to point out is my alarm at just how little the rhetoric has changed. If you’re still making the same arguments to win people over, how far have you truly progressed?

I’m THISCLOSE to putting my 2016 Cayman on the market. By all measurements, I can sell the car for what I paid for it or even a little bit more than that, three years after I bought it CPO, leaving me out only the routine maintenance costs (dear sweet God, Porsche routine maintenance costs...).

My XSR900 makes 115 and that’s about all I have discipline for on the street.  Owning a liter bike is like being handed the keys to a jet fighter.  (Do jet fighters have keys?)

It’s charming just as it is functional.

Hahaha Jalopnik business model go brrrrr.

I’d love to read this review, but it’s impossible as it crashes my iPhone 12 more than Vin Diesel crashes movie cars.

What Car Fact Do You Wish You Knew Earlier?

Both engines offer the stick option, with the 2.0 stick being the Sport trim and the 1.5-liter vehicle with the manual transmission being the Sport Touring.

The next bike, based on the 1250 Custom prototype unveiled last December, is finally going to be shown in production spec on July 13th.

Sports better in person:

I hate how the author wrote an entire piece— followed by an entire comments thread— that at my quick read makes no mention of the REAL issue:

I’m more upset that slideshows have lasted longer than I ever expected.

Every model built by Chrysler.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Death Valley— the landscape is similar, but the vegetation is different, you don’t get green going up the mountainsides like that.

ALWAYS spend the money on an upgraded suspension. Price into the cost of every motorcycle, it’s something that ought to be done to truly open up the bike.

I still knew I was straddling every last one of the R 18's seven-hundred pounds when taking off, but as I gained speed, the R 18 began to feel unladen. I didn’t realize how much weight it shed until I took the first turn along my route.

Sigh. It’s got 170,000 miles on it, THE BOMB WOULD HAVE GONE OFF BY NOW.
