The Buell P3 Blast was my first bike. I cannot really recommend it over any of the other bikes on the list, or a large number of bikes not on the list.

He’d need to wear pants.

Dude, yoohoo is OG as fuck, get outta here.

NOx problems? From gas engines? It’s less likely than you think.

Cars have safety bladders to protect the operator/passengers from head trauma. Motorcycles do not.
