3rd Gear:

A silver late-model crossover. Doesn’t matter which. At 12:30 AM, it’ll likely be the 100th one they’ve seen that day.

Within the next couple years, KTM is set to have no gaps of over 100cc in their lineup, all the way up to 1300cc. And basically doubling most of those models with Husky essentially an alternate style/component KTM. I’m eagerly awaiting the 490 adventure bike.

I’m pretty sure Adam was referring to the pitch. As in the van wasn’t the largest focus of the marketing. Not that the van itself was built as an afterthought.

Good commuter bike for an area where you can get to nearby forest roads and two-tracks. Bumping the displacement for a bit more oomph is exactly what the 250L needed, from what I’ve read. If I didn’t already have my street legal 2-stroke for the rare commute, I’d be looking at this.

Basically looks like a rolling bicep.

Another trip over to DuncanImports.com with stars in my eyes.

Probably just the Veloster N

Wouldn’t that be equivalent to Home Depot parking lot and $20?

It’s at least a working prototype. The problem is that companies like Nikola, Elio, Faraday, etc have set the bar incredibly low.

Competitors are around, or over $20k. “Realistically priced” is relative in the Luxury SUV Bike market.

Yeah. I’m gonna go find this story on a site that’s not shoe-horning it into a slide-show. 

As soon as Battery density improves exponentially, or there’s a charger installed at the top of said hill.

I am equally likely to buy both. That Civic is so unpleasant to look at.

The new Bronco seems pretty universally liked. Perhaps because it’s such a simple, straight-forward design

1 problem: The rear cargo area of the Bronco is not flat, unless you have that (not available in B&P yet) slide out tray. There’s a 3-4 inch lip at the seat-back base.

True enough. The “Spirit of Aloha” only really applies to Haoles in the tourist areas. Don’t expect that to carry to the north-shore of Oahu.

Ah, right. Had already forgotten that it’s a supplemental vehicle.

‘Moke’ is also a derogatory term for Hawaiians. May or may not go over poorly with some of the locals.

He gets his POV shipped for free. It would be better to find one that hasn’t lived its life next to the ocean and bring it over..
