350 lbs for a 300? Come on BMW, get your shit together. For a world bike, if it comes in at a low price, then it will still be brand dilution. Worked great for Mercedes! I do like the looks, for a budget bike, and the low hp/cc probably means it will be low mainenance but I doubt it will do well in the US unless it is…

The local importer has a bit of a reputation for forgetting to mark the pink slips on bikes “off road only,” but they wouldn’t go for it on one of these. I really, really wanted one but I don’t do track-only. Even my Spec E30 is still plated. Though I don’t know that they could have gotten one, anyways. Also not sure…

It all depends on who the driver is. I didn’t let my nephew drive my cars until he showed me he was good at driving a stick, now I let him take my track car to lapping days. I always take the driving skill of others into account when loaning out cars. Other than him though, the second rule is you can’t drive it unless…

What’s this about flashing lights on the Subarus? I’ve only had mine about a year, but I don’t want to be left out of the cool kid light flashing club if such a thing exists.

If this is some sort of Orlovian joke, I’m going to Milton this whole place.

Asterisk!

Canadian market Sti’s BOV

When I brought my new, 100 miles on the odo car back to the dealer to show them a leaking caliper and how reverse didn't work, and they tried to convince me it was normal and all cars do that...and confirmed it when I traded it in a year later and never looked back at it after parking it. I was one of the lucky ones…

I once saw a Veyron at a Sears Point track day.

Serious post though, politics is mostly about posturing. If we cancel the F35 now, it would be like Putin packing up his toys and leaving the Ukraine or where ever he is right now. Can’t be done. Can’t admit we couldn’t develop the most advanced (or so claimed, I’m no expert) fighter in the world. That’s not who…

Super Tomcats and new A10s. Do it, Trump!

Lorenzo is one of the best racers in the world, but the Doctor is the moto equivalent of the Schu in rain. Still a long shot but it helps

Any word if it will be street legal in the US? This + street wheels and a caliper spacer might be the hot ticket. Going the other way usually gives too little travel in the dirt. I'd guess it will be bc of the blinkers and 690 having a plate and the supermoto being almost identical but idk whether epa/carb would make…

I’m not a religious man, but I’m figuratively praying for rain. Rossi in the rain might be able to pull off the comeback.

He was nudging Marq away I’d say rather than kicking him, but basically everything you said. Marq drew first blood, and Rossi was just defending himself.

I’m not a Harley guy at all (though I have borrowed a few while between bikes), but thank you for writing about why some people like them. This site has too much of people putting down other types of riders, so I welcome articles on anything with 2 wheels even if it’s stuff I personally have no interest in.

Most likely, but if the rotary guys can dream then so can I.

Wankle is just a motor that Orloves its piston

I’m tempted every time I see an E30 M3, because I like my Spec E30 a lot, but I have seen a lot of E30 M3s blow motors at the track. Almost every one that I’ve seen driven with any kind of speed. I always pass because I don’t want a car I can’t track.

Yup.
