Unless they start throwing money at a rookie (won’t happen), Tito will have his work cut out for him. Hence the reason Scott Redding bailed on MarcVDS. Underfunded, old technology, etc...when everyone is getting the latest and greatest and you’re stuck holding a bag of year old dog shit, it’s pretty tough being…

i would bet the majority of riders CANNOT tell the difference between aluminum vs. magnesium wheels. and yet, the R1s is not meant to compete directly withe the S1000RR bikes, so why would someone complain that this bike is heavier/worse handling. it was built to be a step down from the R1, which competes with those…

speak the truth? these articles are rainbows and unicorns. everything is beautiful, wonderful, awesome! writing a biased review on a new product is one thing, but this was a waste of time. i only read about things i’m intersted in, as most people are. calling me a coward for this doesn’t make sense. but i just…

sure...but this bike has been whored out online. i think the price tag pisses me off more than anything (and it’s ugliness doesn’t help). the pikes peak version was a lot better looking, but that rear seat and tail section is just vomit.

why write this article? are they having a hard time selling these? there’s been plenty of coverage of this “ugly as sin” bike. i’m sure Ronin ate up the cheesy one liner at the end:

the funniest part of all this was the ICON ad before the video...appropriate.

Appropriate for that video

i second this.

this...you couldn’t get away from a police officer on a bicycle with this.

so you’re saying a college student or someone early in their career should buy a car for 5% of what’s in their pocket? salary is a much more realistic measure.

however much a mercedes sl300 will cost or a ferrari f40

this is undoubtedly one of the ugliest cars in production. it’s like a pontiac aztek and a nissan juke had a baby.

a certain group of people do...

then he looks like the wealthiest homeless guy

yup...rotor rust is not a big deal. i get surface rust on my rotors from not driving the car for 2 days after a rainstorm. perfectly normal. goes away after a short drive. this car probably hasn’t been driven to take care of itself.

exactly...the last thing a girl wants to be picked up in is a small, cramped, stiff shoe box. go ahead and put the top down, i dare you. you may not have any hair left to blow in the wind, but she does and doesn’t care for it.

yup, they are unicorns. it’s kinda sad.

the EPA doesn’t give a shit whether you fixed your deadly ignition or your seatbelt, since that’s YOUR problem. but polluting the air and lying about it pisses off the tree huggers and the gov’t - because trees & money, one in the same!

why not put some type of speed sensor on the exterior floor of the car pointing it to the ground detecting if the car is moving. this would automatically detect if the wheels are moving and the car is stationary (dyno). done deal.

WSBK would be the Canadien Football League...where most riders/players don’t make it to the Big League. Moto2 and Moto3 would be the college football and high school football equivalents; respectively.
