Speaking of that, what repercussions happen if you do curb a wheel?

No front suspension and double crown fork? Weird. I'm sure hitting sidewalk gaps at 36mph is fun.

So, please, enlighten me. What is "innovative" or "unique" or worthy of such a high price? And no, I can go pick up a brand new S1000RR (with a ton of goodies) for $15,400. I'll also have a dealer to go back to.

Hovercrafts are up there with submarines as being "weird" and "cool.

I hope his knees are ok.

For the closes simulation, you'd have to head to something like iRacing. But I don't believe that iRacing has Le Mans.

A Ducati sportbike isn't my style. I don't favor roasted testicals, vibrating mirrors or a sore ass after just an hour of driving. Don't get me wrong. Great bikes, but not for what I want.

But what does this innovation get me? I honestly fail to see much innovation at all actually. Sure, it's light weight and has good power/torque numbers, but I can get similar numbers, save $2k, still get a V-twin if you are against fours (an L is just an 90° V) and get a 1199 Panigale.

Ever since Buell went under, I've been disappointed. They were a bit like the Saabs of the motorcycle world. Never perfect. Many good ideas. Just as many bad ideas. Different.

There really isn't anything more in common than having two wheels, handle bars and a seat.

But the chassis wasn't the important part of the 787B. It was the engine. The chassis was relatively unremarkable with dated aerodymanics.

I'm guess there must be some sort of rule where if it can't make it back to the pits under its own power, it's out?

100% chance of ruining everyone else's day.

What about running towards a tornado with a deployed parachute dragging behind? Sounds like fun.

Well, all I can say is my front bumper will look the same once I push though, I doubt your rear bumper will.

Yeah, I'll be the guy that pushes you out of the way. I've got places to be. Your sense of self importance isn't going to get in my way.

You shouldn't be blocking any lane or shoulder. Stopping on the shoulder is for emergencies. A little hail isn't an emergency.

That is nothing. Check this out...

Talk about pointless headlights...

It's because of the Dealer Witch.
