75 million people who voted for him, and millions were dancing in the streets when he won. But sure, yeah, he’d have a hard time filling an audience.

I will never consider a trike to be a proper motorcycle. Do they have merit on their own, sure, but if you don’t have to balance then I don’t think it really counts.

Your colleague touched on it a little. 

The are harsher, clunkier, louder (because of the straight cut gears) and have reduced longevity. In a loud, low power application with lower stresses and reduced inertia in the drivetrain (like a motorcycle) this is not an issue. Nor is it in racing where you regularly rebuild the transmission anyway (think of how…

I just want to be in the room when Jason when he hears they will also add taillights. Just to see the reaction.

“new value cover gadgets”

Straight off-the-line traction is only a small benefit for AWD. It also allows a driver to power out of a corner earlier than a fwd or rwd car. It also eliminates torque steer inherent in fwd cars.

Not enough stars

Yep, and with a manual, no less.

While that may sound boring, the motor itself is exactly what I want in a truck.

They did, as stated in the original source article.

Yeah, it seems like retro cafe racers and scramblers have fewer market entrants to compete with than adventure bikes. Still, at least it isn’t as saturated as sport bikes.

Its a slide-out load floor.

I’m amazed they could patent something that was made famous by the Jag D-type. I actually don’t hate the Countryman, especially since it isn’t nearly as big as everyone thinks it is, but I just can’t think of a reason to own one when a Clubman will do the same job. I agree the baseball cap 2dr was pointless and ugly.

Look, we can’t bitch about Harley-Davidson for not trying to do something new and then bitch when they do. Besides, every type of bike is being built by at least half a dozen manufacturers so unless they invent some new segment there will always be a lot of competition for anything new.

Looks a lot like the Vixen:

Exactly why I’m mad bout it.

’m still mad Audi never made good on the Sport Quattro Concept, the Mini never made the Superleggera, I’m sure everyone is collectively fuming about the Nissan IDX, and the mid-engined Volkswagon Concept R would have been awesome:

BP is also a refiner. When oil prices go down it affects BP negatively as their costs to extract crude and refine it into product are largely separate from the per barrel price.

With decent examples well below $100k, they may be (comparatively) cheap to buy, but how cheap is keeping it maintained?
