Hi Sean - excellent article, but I disagree with your point of view on these bikes.

I have nothing to add just wanted to be the first to comment.

I’m guessing they realized that the 2 motorcyclists can’t really do much more than hurt themselves (but moreso, their pride when they fall over doing a 15MPH stunt), maybe knock someone over, inconvenience a few people for a minute, or ding someone’s car. I mean, in America and parts of Western Europe, this is…

So you are publicly advocating unnecessary violence as an alternative to organized legal stunt exposition?

low rider is the narrowest of the front ends - it’s sort a left over from the narrow glide style of the 90s.

Only if you’re these guys....and like bad music.

Can’t wait to see the adventure version of this powertrain. Give me 10" of suspension please. Gotta knock the Honda AT off the mountain since all reports are it’s knocked every other ADV bike off the off-road peak.

People have to take their own path. Some of us ride. Some of us don’t. We’re all enthusiasts. I’ve been riding around 10 years. On my first trip out of the country (greece) I crashed a scooter 2 times (inexperience once ,pushing it second time) and an adventure bike (tired and inexperienced) 1 time - I also dropped…

I don’t ride anymore, so my odds of crashing are greatly reduced (I’m selling my bike this spring, and will probably ride it home from the garage after my pre-sale service — so there is an opening of a kind.)

No Sean, I won’t. Not until I quit hearing the following:

"sits back and waits for the discussion on torque vs. Hp"

I own a business and drive a '15 STi. No one seems to have any problems with what I drive. Let's just put it that way. Learn better to make yourself the commodity rather than making your appearance the commodity and you can appear as you please.

It's the face only a mother and/or gearhead could love. It looks like it got attacked with an axe. It will never sit in a museum next to a Cisitalia. It will never sit in a museum next to a Bugatti. Should it? HELL FUCKING YES IT SHOULD.
