Oh I did that same thing too! At the price I bought it for I paid $100 to drive that car around for a year. That head gasket seems like a common issue. Had five of these (don’t ask, won’t tell) and three of them needed a gasket. Only had one Duratec and it was surprisingly smooth and far more reliable than the Vulcan…

I had a 1996 Ford Taurus as a first car and it wasn’t bad to drive, but what made me most uncomfortable was the fact that you could flip a coin and it would tell you whether or not you were getting to your destination. Bought at auction and cleaning it out revealed a needle that wasn’t used for vaccines and a…

Damn your choice is awesome! I gotta admit I’m probably never gonna own a liter (probably be dead in a week of ownership) but I can appreciate them, and an F4 no less!

I’ll check out the forum. I’ve been wanting to meet other people who also enjoy riding their machines. I’ll be sure to look you up!

Just like the other revived nameplate in GM, wait to see the Camaro turn into another crossover we clearly don’t need.

Still waiting for the day they announce it for the US market.

I can’t think of something more “I am an asshole and need people to know I’m an asshole” more than a badge that reflects that.

The original Fuel Doctor was taken off the market but I highly doubt there’s any regulation against the cheap Chinese products offered for sale. Far beneath any government’s time to pursue I suppose.

So what’s the point of telling us that this car exists when all of them are sold? I feel like everyone sleeps more or less the same at night knowing or not knowing that they can’t buy one anymore.

TBH I was considering the Speed Twin for a moment, but my criteria was something slow (but not TOO slow) and good on gas. Slow is the highly prioritized characteristic, and since the 900 is around the same horsepower as my MT-07, I believe the performance will be similar. The XSR is right out since I’m coming from a…

Haha it helps I’m a little shorter so it’s actually nearly upright on the GT650, and thanks! I will definitely enjoy and ride safe on this!

And that’s my other bike. It’s an MV Agusta Superveloce, a stupid fast retro-styled bike which probably qualifies as the world’s fastest cafe racer. The reason I’m looking into…

For real, I’m impressed with how well it presents itself. I’ve rode many bikes over the years but this test ride has made a bigger impression on me than so many others. I find myself enjoying it for what it isn’t, and because of what it doesn’t have I recognize the bike has replaced it with exceptional character.…

Oh that’s exactly what I did.

And I LOVED it.

My perfect two-vehicle garage is basically two cafe racers of different types: a retro racer inspired track bike with lights and turn signals and a super slow daily cruiser, basically polar opposites that provide the best of both worlds. I have my exotic canyon carver in the form of an MV Agusta Superveloce 800. I…

If Harley dipped lower in the market with lighter and more agile bikes, then maybe they’d pick up traction with younger riders. Sell a 399cc tracker-style bike that takes inspiration from its racing days. Revive the Buell line with 600cc sport and naked models. Put the Bronx on the market instead of out to pasture.…

I’ve been looking into owning one honestly, I’d love to have a new motorcycle with the character of a classic as a daily rider. That and I miss riding slow motorcycles fast. There was something about topping out at not much faster than 100 MPH on a 300 that was far more fulfilling. Doesn’t help that literally every…

They still sell that?

Great list, though I would’ve included the Royal Enfield 650s since they’re about as much bike (if not less) than a Honda 500, which I agree deserves a spot here especially for bigger riders. As for the Hondas here, just a word of caution to anyone considering those: if highway traffic is going 80-90 MPH and they do…

You’re absolutely right, it’s not like there’s a niche of buyers that prefers smaller and cheaper cars, ESPECIALLY not those living in large cities, or don’t want to spend anywhere near $40k on average for a new car.

Nope, couldn’t be anyone in America.

I’d love a small EV but very few are willing to offer them. There’s the Leaf, Mini Cooper SE, and Chevy Bolt off the top of my head, but it’s either range or personal preference keeping me out of all of them.

If they bring this to the US though I can build the perfect two EV garage. Park this next to my Triumph TE-1…

Yikes, I’m glad they’re alright. The result would’ve definitely been different had it been any one of these new trucks/SUVs, I mean, the numbers couldn’t lie. I would think that politicians have an inherent need or want to solve problems and pedestrian fatalities should be a prioirty, but as long as they continue to…
