That CB750 is near me. The seller was originally asking $10k+. Still think it’s overpriced for a non-sandcast engine, but it’s a well done restoration.

If Manbearpig had a license, he’d drive this.

This “tight but not too tight” situation reminds me of the old Norton Commando motorcycles. They used something called “isolastics” to prevent the vibration of the engine from getting into the frame. Essentially, the entire drive system (engine/carbs/gearbox) and are rubber isolated from the rest of the bike. And it…

That driver’s getting dragged to jail for sure. This article really struck a chord with me, but you can’t just thrust this kind of news on us. Did they lift it from some other source?

Right, so your first proper bike after learning how to ride on various bikes was a GL. That seems fine. But if you get someone who says “I’ve never ridden a motorcycle of any kind, where do I start?” You don’t put them on the GL and say “Good Luck!” No, you point them to their nearest MSF Basic Rider Course and then…

I’ve had my Norton for 5+ years now. It has yet to let me down.

Looks like they’ve also done some of the better upgrade options on the Norton as well. RGM front brake is nice, assuming they also did the 13mm MC conversion. Electronic ignition is almost a default these days. I wonder if they changed from the 19" rims with the new flanged alloys.

Agree on that Norton. They’ve done a lot of good upgrades. The front disc brakes were notoriously bad and the electronic ignition is a big plus.

Same here. We demand to know whether you were truly “Upstate” or just North of the city.

They’ve already introduced the CB350 H’Ness outside the US. That seems like the most logical one to adapt for a smaller retro bike. 

I still think a 650 is too big for a beginner rider, but I’m glad to see companies recognizing that you don’t need a liter bike (or close to it) to start out on. And I’m always a fan of the retro stylings.

While the Tiger is a much more capable vehicle for its many uses, I still love the style of the scrambler more. It just hits that classic look so correctly.

I’ve never given up my pre-kid motorcycles. But I did get a 2015 GMC Acadia for the three rows. 5000+ towing capacity means I can also haul my bikes around. Win-win in my book.

That’s amazing. I thought it was just an RC version, which is why I was confused about the cockpit size. But that thumbnail for the video... ah.

Buick Roadmaster. My dad’s 1995 version was so boring. Unless you mashed the pedal. But it’s still a pretty boring car.

I like forward to the press photos featuring riders in Short Skirts and Long Jackets.

Sounds like they shipped out that chicken on a wing and a prayer.

Buick Regal TourX and the Chevy SS

Love it. Bring back more retro styles. Bring back ALL the retro styles. BRING THEM BACK.
