Works great for me. I live deep in the Ozarks with steep, loose, rocky terrain. The low seat height and smooth low-rpm torque of this thing is like cheating. The suspension is not up to high-speed riding, if that’s your bag. Though, decent performance is a re-valve away.

If you don’t live in California, you probably can. I have my Beta X-trainer plated in Missouri. It was easy as Beta sends the MSO as “Motorcycle”, rather than Off-Road.

Light and airy (but I can’t have ventilated seats?)

Offroad bikes are expensive. They have to be more rigid and lighter than their road-bike brethren. They also sell in lower numbers and have tighter margins. For the price of your average enduro bike ($8000), you could roll out of the Honda Dealership with a brand new CBR500R, and have $1500 left after taxes.

I’m glad the option is available. This will find a lot of buyers, I’m sure. Honda has that fiercely brand loyal set that believe Honda is the best, no questions asked. If the CRF250L is anything to go by, this is going to have some pretty crap suspension.

btw, what’s a man got to do to stop being pending around here? Pretty sure my account is in good standing with a decent history. Splinter followed me after two comments.

So, the point of the Ranchero was, ostensibly, to provide car driving manners coupled with small truck hauling ability.

These guys make it very difficult to justify being a moderate gun-owner. I enjoy the precision machinery, as you said, and it’s good to have locked up ‘just in case’. I don’t need to be paranoid all the time, or think the browns are gonna invade, or Obama-lama-ding-dong is gonna assume Martial Law (Things I have heard…

Same way Ol’ Donnie did. By inheriting Millions and using it to become powerful.

Me: When will that vacuum option in the minivan really be necessary?

I don’t think I can. Not without moving somewhere colder.

I can only see this being Nice for someone with more money than sense that can drop over 20-Large on stupid(fun) toys. At least until the next round of Powerball numbers come in, that ain’t me.

Are you perhaps a bovine with abnormally large horns?

Remove speed limits. Slowest person on the highway gets entered in the Hunger Games. Boom: No more day-dreaming inattention.

I was going to make the same comment. Then I realized:

My natural gag-reflex rejects this as an option, thanks to the CVT. But, as I scrolled down the page to make an angry comment about it, I remembered the options available to Americans that like long-body cars. So, yeah, I’d have this on my next shopping list if it was available, but I’d also be making snarky comments…

“Endless lowballs”. Is it more than scrap-prices? I’d bet it was. I imagine he spends a lot of time saying “I know what I have”. I do feel for him, and think the quotas are a bit crazy, but he turned his property into an unlicensed junkyard. Nobody else did that for him.
