$6k for old tech, cheap suspension and brakes, and EFI? Is it really worth that much more than a well-sorted CB550? You can find nicely restored old light/middleweight UJMs for half that price or less. Yes, the Royal Oilfield has EFI, and I suppose to some it’s worth a few thousand bucks extra to not have to tinker…

Amen! They need to bring back the SOHC/4 with modern suspension, brakes, and 50-75lbs lighter.

Not just that, but you can get more valves into a 4 than a 2, thereby increasing fuel and air flow and thus POWAAAAHHH

Funny, I thought the exact same thing.

Guintoli aboard the Yami should really put the squeeze on Kawi, Ducati, and Aprilia. I suppose nothing would light a fire under Honda’s butt like Yamaha winning both WSBK and MotoGP.

I’m assuming he’s referring to the old Kawasaki KZ1000, in which case, it does sound remarkably like that bike. I’m actually pretty shocked, considering one’s a 1 liter inline-4 and the other’s a 5 liter v-8. I was initially thinking, “Bullcrap, you hoser.” I was delightfully wrong though.

Actually, there is one segment that I utterly loathe, and that’s the slammed and stretched ‘Busa/sportbike scene. I mean, come on, you know those things never leave city limits. I’d love to see just one of those things on a backroad or even a freeway outside a major metropolitan area. Congratulations, my…

That’s a legitimate bar to aim for. I will never, ever consider buying a Harley (besides a V-Rod, and that motor was designed by Porsche, which makes it more Jalop than pretty much any other bike). But ya know what? As long as the Harley purchaser actually becomes a Harley rider, I say ride on. Ride on for life. Ride…

That thing must be fueled by liquid Schwartz.

I know, right? Like, people are always “Use your riding mower on your lawn, not the freeway, jackass!” Nyah, well tell the DOT to gimme back my driver’s license! Idiots.

Well...shit. That just might be the most beautiful Ferrari I have ever seen. Thank you for that.

Yeah, and for a bit more, you can get Self-Righteous Indignation Performance Reduction chip installed.

I beg to differ. This article and its subsequent comments have left me thoroughly entertained.

That one genuinely made me giggle profusely.

You’ll hear more about him now that Misano is next on the MotoGP schedule. I suspect this documentary will spend some significant time talking about him, or at least I should hope so. Heck, it’s been, what, 5-6 years since Neale did Fastest? He’s got some serious catching up to do. Engine displacement went back to…

Might have to find “alternative” methods of procuring this movie. Mark Neale has done a great service to motorcycle racing with all of his documentaries. I expect no less than a fantastic insider perspective and great interviews throughout.

Not on a bike, not on a trike

Not enough nopes in the world.

KTM Adventure 1150/90. You’d look less like a baboon humpin a jackrabbit, and more like Rossi on his M1. Still a little awkward, but much less so.

If this website becomes the two-wheeled equivalent of The Truth About Cars, you will have made me a fan for life.
