That simply can’t be done, you’re asking for too much.

Right, but not having to do that is worth $200 to a lot of people. Time is money.

Slide 1: Yes

More likely he got Kinja’ed and couldn’t make one, but either way.

Not a slide show?

They’re also quite good at alerting you to when you’re approaching overhead clearance limitations. Like in parking garages. 

Bluetooth Apple Carplay/Android Auto is life.

Another benefit to an old-school antenna on a truck is it gives you a sacrificial, non-painted low-clearance indicator.  In the case of a parking garage or drive through, if the antenna doesn’t hit anything you’re good to go.

The real answer here is that if you tow larger trailers longer distances, this probably isn’t the truck for you (though the Hybrid F-150 probably is).

But the reality is that for the *three quarters of a million* F-150s sold last year, there’s an incredibly large number of owners that don’t tow anything, or tow very…

...what if trailers started coming with battery packs to offset the range hit? I know it would add weight but adding battery capacity in the thing that makes you need more capacity rather than just making the truck’s battery bigger seems like a reasonable solution.

This would be a badass truck for a local construction company. You wouldn’t need any insane range, but you have lots of power and room for tools.

Not much comparison to an R6. This motor is much less powerful. I’m sure it’ll be a blast to ride. It’ll be nice to see this motor in a better chassis than what the MT offered. Plus it’s cheaper and more accessible than the R6 was. This bike is a winner as long as you aren’t expecting an R6.

I actually prefer the look of the R1 and R6 without the cyclops eye because they remind me of a race fairing, and that’s cool as hell.

I hope every person here who writes “But bicyclists break traffic laws!” has never driven one mile an hour over the speed limit because surely you wouldn’t have a double standard. 

DUI-related incidents are unacceptable, period. Fight me.

The thing is, the R6 never really left. It only counted up a number and got a redesign.

I fail to see how this is the bike for people who missed the R6. A few points according to Yamaha’s website the R7 is only 3lbs lighter than the out going R6. While this is great news as who doesn’t love a lighter bike, my bigger issue is from a power perspective. The outgoing R6 makes around 115-125hp depending on…

There will be two that I can think of that will stop a handful of people from buying. Reduced range while towing and lack of vroom vroom noises.

I’d assume they could also throw the torque numbers there too. Modern trains are a diesel motor to generate electricity but the actual motive force is provided by electrics with full torque at almost zero RPM. I imagine Ford is going to try and sell this thing as an absolute stump puller as well.

Range will be the main question. Which obviously means long range towing will be compromised.
