Maybe someday when I have money! I think his is the R100? He told me he bought it new way back when.

Beautiful! One of the professors in my department daily rides an old BMW like that, sans fairing and bags. I love to look at it while mine warms up.
It is a serious bummer. I bought an Xbone last fall in anticipation of Halo: MCC, and I’ve regretted my choice since that game came out. Exclusivity helps companies sell consoles but it sure sucks for those of us who can’t afford multiple electronics purchases each year!
Those guys keep me humble when I start to think I’m getting good haha!
This! I’ve got an older friend who wipes my ass all over the twisties on his FJR1300. I genuinely can’t believe the things he does with that heavy bike sometimes. He should have been a racer instead of a machinist.
My favorite part was when he yawns at 2:49!
Most would probably stereotype me as a hipster. Obscure beers, beard and long hair, skinny jeans and a beanie, daily ride a fixie... but I pour my heart (and cash) into my motorcycle and car - I looked long and hard to find a manual first-gen Fit in good shape, too! And I work on them myself in the tiny garage I pay…
Yeah I do live in a city and I would hate to drive (and especially hate to park) a bigger car than my little Fit. I'm doing my best to win over my friends too haha.
Based on my peers' opinions, it's the looks! I think it's a matter of cultural familiarity at this point. Most of my friends, even ones who like cars, think sedans look better. I'll grant that this is sometimes true, but I personally think stubby hatches look more interesting (I have a first-gen Honda Fit).
Cannot star comment enough.
That plus his comment about your girlfriend being sure to wreck it with the red key - he's either doing a poor job of trying to be funny or just an asshole.
I seem to be the only person here who actually likes the touchscreen there!
It's homey, I like it! It looks like something I wouldn't be terrified to put my grubby mitts on.
Agreed - or at least it also looks very, very good in a different way! I think this is beautifully understated and refined, along the lines of an R8. A bit aggressive without shoving "I AM SO FAST AND EXPENSIVE LOOK AT ME" in your face.
As an urban twentysomething with poor money management habits, I am 100% this bike's target market. And I desperately, achingly want one. I think Yamaha is going to lose more than a few FZ sales to this beauty.
Jesus, the assholes really came out of the woodwork to shit on you! Congrats on getting a car you like, and screw the people putting you down for it. "Your car sucks" is not what this site is about.
I live, drive, motorcycle, bicycle, and walk in (far, far less insane than NYC) Columbus, OH where the 25 mph limits just got bumped up to 30. Even with the reasonable level of traffic here, I *still* think it's too fast to be safe.
Same here, I've been wistfully contemplating selling my bike and car to get one of these. I'm a nerd, granted. But I love how this looks and I like being comfortable when I ride.
