My first thoughts are that the exhaust looks unfinished to me and the radiator is hideous, almost to the point of ruining the looks of the bike for me. Other than that, I think it’s fantastic looking! The gauge cluster looks really slick and I really like the overall design. Nice job Yamaha!

Full face helmet (Bell Bullitt), armored jacket (Belstaff if it’s nice, mesh Tourmaster if it’s not), kevlar jeans (Dianese), protective gloves (Dianese), and motorcycle boots (TCX).

In the video @ 2:56 “here is a little spot I haven’t landed in years”... followed by him landing in a spot covered with tracks from several previous landings.

I believe this means 25 more weeks of Formula One.

When I was about 7 years old, I drove my mom’s VW Golf (MkII, blue, diesel, manual) through the neighbor’s garage door.

What a great way to get BMW drivers off the street!

You have seatbelts for eight people, meaning you can fit about thirty teenagers in it.

As somebody who JUST bought a new motorcycle for almost the exact same price as the cheapest model, the Zero was off my list once I looked at the range an re-charge times. The $8500 bike has a highway range of 44 miles, which wouldn’t even get me to work and back. As a short commuter/local only bike, it might make…

My first bike was an 800 cc Triumph Bonneville America (Triumph’s cruiser) back in 2002. It’s not a huge cruiser and was pretty easy to learn on. I later found that I didn’t really like cruisers and vastly prefer the standard riding position, but as a first bike it was actually pretty good. I think a smaller cruiser…

The Icon is $8,500 not $10,000... but it’s not a cheap bike that you might crash once or twice as you learn. And I suppose once you add tax and the $500 freight fee, you’re pretty much at $10k. I have one, and I’ve put 625 miles on it so far. It’s very easy to ride from an ergonomic perspective, but it’s damn quick…

I think you are on to something there.

I spent 76k miles with a DSG in my last car (a 2011 GTI). It's a fantastic transmission at everything above about 10 mph. Below 10 mph it is annoying. It hesitates terribly and can't deal with rolling stops. My only other complaint is that it upshifts too soon in it's race to get to 6th gear in the name of fuel…

After just 87k miles, my very well maintained 2011 GTI needed $4k worth of work (leaky valve cover gasket, leaky rear main seal, rear suspension arm issue, and something else I forgot). That was on top what would have been a $900 repair that was being covered under a specific extended warranty for the intake manifold.…
