Would it not be cool to see Chevy bring back the Caprice Wagon? New LT-1 with cylinder deactivation and RWD in a package weighing roughly 4300lbs? Bet they could see quite a few to folks who would shop that over a damned SUV, CUV, xyz, etc.

The Scrambler is a really interesting Italian take on the Universal Japanese style motorcycle that is really stunning in my view. Very nice write up Travis, answers most of the questions I had regarding the bike. Very much looking forward to checking this bike out.

This is awesome. I havc seen this aircraft at the USAF museum and wondered how the flight profile achieved the climb records. I sure will recommend they have a small TV at least playing this video to really appreciate what this aircraft did. A truly great aircraft indeed. This video really brings the accomplishments…

Your insights and intelligent assessment of this program has been pretty even handed and fair in my humble opinion. An objective analysis of the cost benefit of the whole F-35 program is pretty sobering imho. Thanks for doing the hard work of keeping us informed. Your insights have provided me with some material for…

Wow, this sounds very much like a fundamental design flaw to me, one that is going to be very expensive to fix long term. Have we reached the level of diminishing returns with conventional winged aircraft technology? This HAD to be a fundamentally designed in flaw, since it is well known that fuel sitting in tankers…

I may be way off, but it looks to me like the Cycleworld photos taken when the ZX14R was a cover story.

It is expensive. I respect the work that has been done and applaud an American touring bike, but no ABS, chain drive and high price equates small sales I fear. I sure hope that they are successful and able to bring the price down to more reasonable levels in the future.

That is the big question. I hope not, because I hope that the H2 heralds a new era in engine development for motorbikes. Imagine a 500cc engine being entirely adequate for a heavy touring bike and still returning gas mileage comparable to a prius, instead of a Challenger.

Good points, as to sales and halo for Kawi? Well, we shall see. I question the wisdom of uber hyping a bike on the concept of its monster power when the H2 is not even the most powerful bike in the Kawi line up.

Unleash the Beasta indeed. Sounds great, what a stirring sound.

And that's BEFORE you pick up the accessory catalog. LOL

Trouble for Kawasaki when their ultra hyped bike makes LESS horsepower than the V max and their own ZX14R?

Huge potential in this bike, and this is one cool way to go. KTM has a home run on their hands with this bike.

No friggin' way I'd pay a quarter million for an old Ferrari drivetrain that likely needs timing belt change and other work to even drop into a car. Yeah it's Ferrari, BFD. Wait for a flat crank crate engine 5.2 Ford engine that makes MORE power and will cost likely $200,000 less, after freshening up is done to this…

Absolutely. I remember when V-8 corvairs even had a kit sold to create them. Do it.

Wow, I was not aware that the aircraft we sell to foreign nations can perhaps be tracked and disabled remotely. I almost always learn a great deal from your insightful articles- great work!

Thank you for your insightful and thoughtful reply.

Wonderful that you were able to keep your client out of the claws of the check not clearning.

So, what killed the Super 14? Was it politics, high potential price-after all a lot of new structure and subsystems, or just plain wanting something new? It seems to me that the Super T would have eclipsed flight performance of current aircraft procured. There had to be some reasons for killing what seems like a…

An interesting bit of trivia regarding the historic photos taken during this sad accident. The chase aircraft containing the photographers flew in a borrowed aircraft. At the time it was the fastest available privately owned aircraft in California. The Lear Jet was owned by one Frank Sinatra, and still existed as of…
