Right, it’s a miracle that we can get cheap reliable things that run high 9s/low tens, while getting 30-40mpg!!!

Im 28 and have owned like 14bikes. An XB is in my shortlist. I was really excited when the EBRs came out, and man are they cheap...

I’m 28. I’m an avid motorcylist, having owned like 14bikes, of all genres, and testing anything I can get on.

I always disagree when I see someone say “7k really means 3k, nice price”. But in this example, based in the ad, I don’t think 1900 is right. It seems like 1500 with the stuff and *even less* without.

The paradox of any modern state is violating liberty in order to preserve it. Bunch of bullshit, if you ask me.

I understand your perspective.

I always loved the M900, and i don’t see this as an improvement over that. Ducati was really on their game back then stylistically with the M900, 900Ss-sp and 916. All masterpieces.

Ha, I’ve ridden a similarly painted and dinged early model. It was a 620, so slow but God was it cool looking.

I agree with Doc Broc. I think it visually accentuates the engine/ gas tank area, making it look muscular in the same way the wispy tail sections on moden sport bikes do.

The ls4 was a 5.3 with like 300hp, intended for transverse fwd applications such as the final Monte Carlo SS. To my knowledge it was only ever backed by autos, idk which manuals would work or what it would take.

Ya, I read it after I asked.

That sounds incredible. I’ve never seen that swap, and wondered why.

Id consider the testarossa cool and angular. The F40 too

I’ve had two of these. Great $1500 cars. For 30 though...

Three radiators?

Since you say you are genuinely curious, I’ll explain.

I have a dirty secret. I have had a variety of off roaders. I know you are supposed to prefer a manual, but I don’t. Stopping on hills with a stick sucks.

Fun fact; the SC400 had radiator fan fluid.

I see SSR more than El Camino.

AWD (and turbo and crossovers) are today’s fashion/fad/gimmick. The future of transportation is autonomous, AWD wont be a factor. It won’t for specialized track toys enthusiast drive either.
