One thing (benefit) that I noticed while living in Germany, and was mentioned to me by native Germans as well, is that you don’t fall asleep driving on the autobahn. They said that driving in other countries, with lower limits, like France for example, it is so easy to fall asleep.

And here’s a little video explaining partly why:

Only a couple more years until they’re 15, which means I can bring one to Canada...

When I was living in Germany, I kept seeing the little coupe versions of these and wanting one so badly. With a sportbike engine/trans swap.

With those sweet sweet portal axles, about how many people (lying down of course) could you drive over before it became a problem?

Used to ride a KTM 690 SM, now have a Husky 510 SMR, so how do these compa... ok just kidding.

The most shocking thing in this video is that there are fast food/ice cream places in the states with the pick-up window on the passenger side of the vehicle... why?

Sat in one on Wednesday at NAIAS, it was supremely comfortable. I did a back to back comparison against the Audi A8, reclined both using the centre mounted controls and found that the Genesis was actually the more comfortable of the two.

This.

Any word yet on the 2016 FS 450 coming to North America? Not that I am in any place to afford one new, but maybe a used one in a couple seasons...

Quick correction for the article: that is definitely not an RC213V in the video. I’m thinking a race prepped CBR1000RR seems more likely.

What they did engine-wise sounds really similar to the Diavel when it launched for some reason. Maybe it is just the matching power spec and larger exhaust that make me think that but I feel like I read the same thing a few years ago when it came out.

I’ll join in if we can get a group discount on flights, bike shipping or rentals, or anything really. I’ve wanted to ride this track ever since seeing video of racing there!

Haha bad ass or masochistic, it is a fine line.

I previously rode a KTM 690SM, which shares nearly everything with the Duke other than bodywork and slightly taller suspension. I never found the vibration to be excessive, and did take it on some longer rides including highway trips to a friend’s cottage more than 5 hours (one way) away. It was not ideal, but I’ve…

I’d go with an E60 5 series. Here is an example. Way less than $15k USD, even in our weak Canadian dollars they are less than $15k all day. I took mine across Canada twice this summer, putting over 12,000km on it in the process in total comfort, and for one leg carrying 8 full size wheels and tires in it along with…

I love real food, and I’m currently using Soylent 1.5 to supplement my normal food. I spend about 3 hours a day in the gym training, and it is great to have a big smoothie after. Smoothie consists of:

Multimatic not Motomatic.
