Ergos are super comfortable.  Tons of room to stand on pegs comfortably, handllebars are nice and wide and offroad-y, even after the narrowing for the update.  It’s a chill bike to ride.

What’s so unique about this?  Plenty of vehicles already do this.  The redline on my BMW literally changes as the engine warms up every time I’m on it.

How the eff isn’t the answer a 2nd hand Ford ST/RS?

don’t forget the LS2 GTO. Good examples are still moving hands in the upper teen’s to the 20's, and even at 5 years old were moving for mid 20's.

50k. I looked into buying one, saw the sticker and died. Dunno how my 2005 GTO was 33k, and a decade later the new generation of that chassis at the end of it’s already long generation cost 17k more than my GTO did, yet didn’t offer that much more content and certainly wasn’t any faster.

yes and no.

base model ecoboost babies? 20's
good one like a performance pack gt? 30's
shelby’s? mid 30's and 40's.

He would make a delightful agent as well.

Truthfully, these are things that BMW, Triumph or Ducati are far more likely to do, and it will kill, and sell like crazy.  I’d rather it be one of those three anyway.

As the owner of two BMW’s - both premium touring bikes, they both are still far under that price point. There’s still plenty of cheaper BMW’s in the range, but if we’re going expensive, sure. My R1200R (naked tourer) stickered at 18k. My spouse’s R1200RT (full on tourer) stickered at 24k. It has a radio w/ sirius,…

Simple problem.

For that money one could buy two flagship Triumphs, or a flagship BMW and Ducati and something still in the brand just not a top of the line loaded model.

I want to love Harleys, but for the money I have a flagship Triumph, and a loaded Touring BMW.

Has always served me well with my opinion of Honda Civics, E30 BMW’s and S2000's.

Also in the same exact boat, 100%.  Everything from my youth should tell me to get one and aspire to have another.  I can even afford a fire breathing ZL1 no problem if I wanted, but they don’t interest me in the slightest.  I’d rather have the Mustang.

It must be an age thing for me, as I knew so many of these otherwise mundane cars when they were new 20-30 years ago, but for some reason it actually makes me sort of hate them. Like how many ways can a poor Miata or base model E30 or equivalent Mercedes from the 90's be hacked up by the teen or 20 something of today…

or maybe it’s “Okay Siri”

Link is already down and gone.

You won’t miss the blown headgaskets, cracked engine blocks and painfully stiff suspension.  Three years into ownership/daily driven and I can’t wait to get out of it.

With a name like SVT Man, you clearly have a brand bias.

Take the BMW.  If you get the Mustang you have to live with the reality that it’s a garbage Mustang every day, and that in three to five years the car will look extremely dated and for all intents and purposes other than color, looks just like the other 35 Mustangs just like it that you’ll see during the week commute…

So you wanted a new motorcycle, and purchased easily the heaviest, slowest, crappiest retro classic on the market with the least technology?

Yikes.
