Yeah, thats a real production bike! Imagine how good a Honda or the other guys would be if instead of 100,000 examples they could make 500 “production” versions and then be able to race. You’d have motogp bikes running superbike races.

For first step you have to develop a 1000cc 4 cylinder engine (even Ducati could not make a 2 cylinder competitive) with 280-300hp that can last a race. Then you have to learn how to make a real chassis and carbon fibre and suspension and aerodynamics and traction control and launch control and a hundred other complex…

Harley Davidson does not have fords budget nor is any engine nor engine technology Harley has even on the same planet as motogp. Motogp is slightly easier to enter then F1 (and that is debatable, Ferrari F1 apparently helped Ducati with their engines in 2006-2007 and Ducati still had a card time) but about 20x more…

You’re joking right? From mid 1920's technology to literally the pinnacle of motorcycle technology? Even when the AMA bent the rules for Harley in the 90's and let them run a hand built 1000cc racebike against production based 750cc bikes Harley had their asses handed to them weekly and barely finished any races and…

I’ve done that! You wake up in a strange city in a bland hotel, have a bland breakfast and walk out to the parking lot to your bland rental car which is so bland you have to beep the horn with the keyfob to find it in the sea of similarly bland business rentals the other sheep have left in the lot. Welcome to your…

Jesus Christ did your parents keep you locked in a dark room and not give you toys ever? What unspeakable act are you atoning for that you’ve owned both these “vehicles” (and I use vehicles only in the most loosest sense).

Better? Not really. More reliable? Maybe. Less Rust? For at least 3-4 years maybe then the Journey will quickly catch up and pass David’s fleet! (based on FCA product I see in Canada). For sure any Journey bought today will see the scrapyard before most cars in David’s fleet!

I thought our 91 octane was equal to their 98? Have people on Jalopnik been lying to me for years?

Rat rods especially fake patinaed rat rods. Having an old rusty car is okay I guess but taking a non rusty car and making it look worn out is such silliness.

I’m from the GTA and he’s right, unless it’s the middle of the week 140 is normal.

It’s like going to the uk and driving the 70mph the sign says, you will be killed. Everyone is driving 90-100mph and you have to drive the same speed to avoid death!

Yeah a lot of Japanese cars are like that I remember working on Acura’s and having to pull suspension to change alternators!

Totally with you. I don’t fix them for a living but I’m an owner that likes doing his own maintenance. I was a bmw guy for a long time and got sick of their intentional bullshit designed in failures, switched to audi/ VW and other then wheel bearings have been impressed with their lack of maintenance. Due to…

Also the couple of times I’ve gone to the port there are a lot of crackheads around before you go over the bridge they are going to have to relocate.

For all that is good and holy will he just get Magna to build it like he should have done with the three? Building cars under contract is literally what they are good at and is definitely not what they are good at yet. I know that won’t be a “disruptive” and “shift the paradigm” and all that but here’s a crazy idea,…

Sounds like a vintage F1 car, say something from Ferrari from the 70's. Sounds better then the current formula!

Yep and if your small block made more than 150hp and you had any traction at all the car would twist so bad the windshield would crack and the doors would no longer work. The unibody on these is literally made from overcooked spaghetti.

Holy crap those are bias ply tires! That’s actually how they look and man they must be older than the car. This thing would be a death wish to drive even with the >50hp it probably makes.

It’s called a scrapyard!
