Nice Henchmen reference!

Best ADV nose on the market.

ADV had this coming... Now if Yamaha would release a XSR-Zuma, retro will finally get its comeuppance, too.

Well played.

Came here for fender elimination; left with laughs at Fry looking askance at a wiring diagram, and Andrew muttering “Come on, Man” at the revelation of lazy DIY wiring. Lanesplitter is so awesome!

“if you’re not in it to make money, all you have is an expensive hobby” - my otherwise forgotten Econ-202 professor

For model distinction: the base model may be referred to as Diavel-powered Biomota; whereas the supercharged version would be correctly correctly referred to as the, Monster-Powered Bimota.

“Britten V1000 is extremely pretty” - Proof that there really is someone for everyone.

The Speed/Street Triple design team should fall on their swords.

This is for Yamaha’s marketing department:

“If you ever find yourself feeling pretty good about yourself and your riding abilities, this guy is more than happy to remind you just have far you have to go.” ... Like there’s not enough of that going around already.

“I waited a long time for the 1050 to get redesinged, ended up buying a Super Duke R” (just imagine how pissed you would have been if you actually waited on this?)

And it reduces the road-rage of people who believe that two headlights on equals high-beams on.
