SPOILER ALERT!

Here at Jalopnik! the only thing BETTER than a motorcycle CRASH is a motorcycle SAVE, but just BARELY! We LOVE motorcycle CRASHES! TWO WHEELS BAD!

For sure on buying what you like. I had an 89 FZR1000 at the same time as the 89 GSXR1100. I didn’t need two classic litrebikes and had to make a decision. The FZR is the basis of the modern litrebike (1st twin spar frame, downdraft fueling, exhaust valving, etc), and bests it’s contemporary competitor, the GSXR, in…

The VFRs are fine. It’s a sporty commuter/tourer. I’m neither for or against Honda. The only Honda that’s stayed on my radar is the SOHC CB750 and I like stock/survivor condition. I know they have made some interesting bikes.

Guess you gotta stay on top of psi AND curbs now.

Haha. There is a certain siren’s call type appeal to a Ducati. I think Ducati maintenance difficulty is more urban legend than reality tho. In regards to the 2 valve desomodromic models at least. It cost me $13 to do the valves on my M900 and they hadn’t been adjusted in 16 years. The XSR900s are nice. If got a newer…

Hmm. That is a pretty low judging criteria. Not starting quick enough when it’s been cold? That’s unreliable? That’s like every bike ever made. You are also using an all in one halo bike from the company that over engineers as a point of principle as a standard. The VFR is basically a sporty Goldwing.

I’m not going to argue modern Honda reliability. They are so over engineered they no longer have any soul or personality. May as well be an appliance. Of the big four japanese brands Yamaha is my favorite. Good build quality and reliability but still have some personality and rawness. Suzuki has great drivetrains but…

Seriously. I’m curious in how long it will be until they start using the Two Wheels Bad tag again.

That misleading title tho! I’m not mad. Just disappointed. KPH. Pfft

Oh, you’re a loaded gun
Oh, there’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Chopped =|= Slammed

Speaking of Streets of Rage 2, I can barely contain my Rage 2 the fact that Road Rash 2 is C TIER?!

I’m just going to leave this here.

Captain D’s needs to team up with DMX for promotional purposes.

There is no steel tubing in the frame at all. If you cannot tell that your example is home made than I suppose it is you that are flawed yes?

Ha! I bought an ‘87 Fiero GT 5 speed last summer for next to nothing to have fun with. Look honey! No rust! It’s all FIBERGLASS! Isn’t that amazing? WRONG! It was fun until I learned I had been in mortal danger every time I drove it from “Tear Here” level rust from the seats back. Luckily I got it so cheap I was able…

That is not the factory Fiero frame. That is someone trying to repair a frame at home. Likely weighs 3x as much with all that basic ass square tubing. Fiero frame was a stamped metal space frame and very prone to rusting out.

Looks like they were here to capture some wayward time traveler.
