Well, okay - I certainly learned something today.

As I understand it, cruisers have always had their brake bias heavy on the rear, as opposed to the typical sport-bike bias towards the front. Largely due to weight distribution and front end geometry.

Oh for shits sake people - IT’S CALLED BROWSER HISTORY! This information has been collected by every version of Windows since ALWAYS.

What the fuck? Is this sarcasm?

That’s riding smart. Cold and wet are the worst together.

but most adults can suffer it

Rain suit?

Drive it like you stole it. Burnouts and doughnuts. Some sweet drifting action.

If they sold more cars, that number wouldn’t be as high - they just need the volume to balance things out.

Totally agree with you. A full exhaust swap on a a bike can be a wonderful thing.

A straight-piped Harley makes a tremendous, earth-shattering roar. It’s amazing, despite being too loud. It doesn’t belong on a bike which finds its way on the road, but it’s still awesome.

This is an exercise in future tech, with much larger-scale applications. Think of an entire row of parking spots in a parking garage with these arms which come down from the ceiling or out of the ground, to charge your car as you walk away.

It could, yeah. But a light tap may have just caused a little head shake, unless it was violent enough.

I’m surprised it wasn’t mandatory to have in the first place.

I’ve got three light stories. Nothing terribly exciting, but they were definitely insightful in my first year of riding and wrenching. All while working on my little 08 Ninja 250R. Piece of work, that thing.

I’m in complete agreement with you. All we’re doing here is appealing to the lowest common denominator, lowering the bar. Screw that. Let’s raise the standard for what is expected of people. The reality is that the same incompetent jerks running this show are also people like you and I. They drive on the same roads…

This sounds like a great idea - but what do you do about one-way streets? Once you have to detour from the arrow’s direction, you’re just hoping the street you turn down next can bring you back on course.

It would be a shame to trash so many H2’s like that.

My sentiments exactly. Yamaha took their GP tech and stuck it in the new R1, with the R1M being a monster. Motorcycles have been getting faster not through HP, but through electronics. I’m sure this RVC has just as much GP inspired tech, but it is WAY too expensive to justify its own existence.
