I’m picturing this guy all grown up.

This is the most logical response I’ve read here today.

They should partner with Porsche on this. They already worked together on the Revolution engine...

I don’t think supersport/racing bikes is a good use of resources (especially starting from square one) based on sales of that segment. Adventure bikes, Scramblers, and “standards” seem to be the big sellers now (in addition to tourers which HD already dominates). They have an ADV bike coming this year, as well as a…

Most dealerships I’ve been in are halfway there already.

So I switched to Honda cruisers for a more comfy ride and to be able to wring the throttle without getting in much trouble. The Hondas were…

I do like the proportions a little better here.

So what, it’s not like Mitsubishi makes cars any- wait, really?
