I’ll just go with ugly.  Nice prep - seems like a solid engineering effort, but the result, in my eyes, looks less polished, more amateurish than it deserves to look.

I would drive it.  Looks like fun.

This will be interesting to follow. I regularly pass by a dealer that sells these in Richmond, Michigan ... and boy, are these Roxors tiny.  Look like fun little beasts, though.

The black street fighter looks nice, but the rider would have that rear cylinder in his crotch. Not sure I want a V-twin anyway.

I’ve followed Montana Skeptic on Seeking Alpha for a while, and I’ve always felt that the questions he raises about Tesla are fair.  Gotta have thick skin in this business.

The whole Tesla topic is quite polarized, like everything else in America at the moment.  If they need to know which side is right, they can just ask my wife, who tells me that she’s always right.

It seems that whenever Harley has tried to reach a younger crowd, it’s with a version of a V-twin cruiser. I know a lot of young motorcyclists, and none want to ride a cruiser. They want affordable, high-revving sport bikes that look sexy.

Totally agree. I set my motorcycles aside when the kids were born, and got back to riding after they left home and were on their own. Sorry to hear of this enthusiast’s passing - a sad story for sure. My heartfelt sympathy to his young family.

I agree the Tesla vehicles look great and turn heads - nobody is arguing that point. If the Model 3 isn’t profitable, it won’t matter how many Tesla builds and sells. Sure, the Leaf or Bolt may not be as sexy, but sexy electric cars are certainly coming from GM, VW, Porche, Audi, etc.

Agreed. I’m right in the heart of H-D’s target demographic - 55, with disposable income, and I have 8 bikes in the garage ... but zero Harleys. I don’t like cruisers, but rather prefer standards and sport bikes, and there’s nothing H-D makes that appeals to me. H-D only offers V-twin cruisers, so I’ll continue to…

So when it’s time to sell his CT6, does he leave the 1940 hood ornament in place with the vehicle or take it off, leaving holes in the hood?

What exactly is venomously fast? 

Same thing happened with Bell & Howell ... in the 1950s, Bell & Howell made some good camera and projector gear. Today, it’s just a name that gets licensed and slapped on cheap products.

Jackstands - you’re killing me here. I needed that.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing this. One can conclude that this type of expensive research factors into the price of our new vehicles. Very interesting.
