Hasn’t their whole R&D budget gone into the clothing line for the last 20 years or so anyway?

I bought my ‘99 X-1 Lightning brand new as a 24th birthday present to myself. But it didn’t help H-D in the long run, after 3 years on the street, I sold it and got back to my roots of riding dirtbikes in the woods. I’ve bought 2 new KTMs and 2 used dirtbikes since ‘01, but not another street bike of any kind. If I…

The price is the big thing to me. They’re priced higher than Ducati. Up there with Aprilia or the really high end BMW’s. Sorry, I’m not going to spend $26,000 (you forgot the custom orange paint with flames that really ups the sale price) for a bike like that. If I had to buy new today, I could buy a top of the line…

Eventually, the dealer did some welding and it was “fixed.” Luckily, I didn’t suffer any irreversible damage, as proven by my continued…

Why automakers feel like they have to adhere to the same grill-work across their brand is beyond me. All it does is compromise.

As a California resident for the last two decades, I can only apologize for the idiocy on display.

Lexus RX SUV.

Honestly, all modern design for 90 % of mass produced vehicles looks like shit. Be it the high belt lines and ass, or the oddly proportioned hood lines due to Euro ped safety standards (which I can’t quite grasp, due to people being too stupid to look both ways before they cross a street, so if they get hit, they…
