“exploring the idea of street races to mix things up a bit”

Well Justin, Texas Motor Speedway has you covered!

Marbula One should build a NASCAR track. I’m sure they have a large bowl laying around somewhere.

I always viewed the Civic SI and the sportier Corolla trims as in different categories and not necessarily competing as much as one might think. The newer Civics are definitely dulled down a bit, but the <2009 models are a pretty harsh ride and have a very direct and analog driving experience. The Corolla is…

check out the last gen celica gts 00-05 they are wonderfully chuckable and tiny compare to anything modern this side of a mx5

I was intrigued by the new corolla hatchback a couple years ago when I was looking to get a newer daily to replace my RSX-S. Quickly realized the corolla would be much more expensive, about 40hp down, and significantly less fun to drive. I would be very interested in a sporty AWD corolla hatchback, or really any…

The XRS was actually really fun, it had the 180hp Yamaha motor out of the Celica GT-S.

To the people defending the HOA, you are boot kissers of the worst kind. These are not normal circumstances. No one is trying to park an RV for shits and giggles here. And regardless of the motive, would it be that difficult for the HOA to inquire first? Is it really so impossible, in the middle of a pandemic, to…

And incidentally, having ridden a 1260 identical to the one you had, I can complete confirm that the engine is a fucking missile, and a really noticeable step-change over the 1200 DVT. In some ways it smooths out a lot of character and I felt it seemed a tiny bit bland by comparison. Although it’s undoubtedly an…

I have a Multistrada Enduro, and can highly recommend the larger tank.. I would buy the Enduro for the larger tank alone - I personally find having to fill up every 150 miles a nuisance, whether it’s a single journey or not.

See, I feel the exact opposite. Give me the Motus with GM/Multimatic parts and an engine that doesn’t need to be looked at for 100k miles and let me ride.

Minus one cylinder? The MV has one extra cylinder. The Ducati is a twin. 

I have a 2017 1200S with the low seat option. I’m tiptoeing with my 29" inseam, but I’ve gotten comfortable with that. I just don’t pull off onto soft road shoulders.

I’ll start with the fact that I can and do appreciate both brands for what they are. However, when it comes down to actual bang for the buck the Multistrada is a much better deal than any Harley could ever be. I’m the kind of rider that rents a bike about twice a year and does a week of riding at about 300-400 miles a…

I love these bikes but the cost to fix the electronic suspension can be eye watering. The early Multistrada 1200 electronic rear shock was $4800 list. For just the shock. I know because we had one that was throwing a persistent DES code and we were directed by corporate to replace it. The idea of paying those costs…

At $23k with maybe inevitable discounts and low apr, this ride is well worth the $$$.

That a beautiful bike at least in my eyes. With the roads getting as bad as they are in Tennessee a switch from my ‘18 GoldWing may be in order, or maybe an addition to the garage.

^^^ this. A lightly used, babied Multistrada PP is a great value. And the first owners of those bikes typically take really good care of them, and don’t ride them much as they often have a half dozen bikes at a time and no time to ride any of them much.

Good to see they got their power band sorted out. One of the things I love about my Bandit 1200 is the flat torque curve. It does not instill confidence to have non-linear power delivery. It’s great to know exactly how much oomph a given twist will give you.
