That’s the conclusion we’ve come to. Now I just have to swallow the bitter pill that is the price tag.

All the forums have me worried about support/maintenance. 

Nothing yet. But my searching pivoted.

Right now I can’t decide if I trust Rural King enough to buy one of their 26 hp tractors. 

Mid-pandemic I moved to 30 wooded acres in Appalachia. I thought a SxS would be great for tooling around and maybe gathering firewood.

Then I had a tree fall across my driveway. Processing that gave me a real hankering for a tractor. 4x4 Subcompact or utility tractors with a loader and backhoe come in cheaper than a…

Looks kinda like a Supra-Viper in that picture.

I know the storage is needed, but the homebuilt seating areas in these look so uncomfortable. Sure you can seat 8 or 10 people, but everyone’s sitting bolt upright. 

Any idea on engine differences between this and the S? Are we talking a tune or is there more to it than that?

How are people reacting to it? I am (somewhat) excited that the Motor Company is doing new things, but the Bar and Shield faithful don’t ever seem to get very excited about non-air-cooled noisemakers.

I’m sure…

I was just about to put on Question the Answers. Then I saw your comment and googled.

Dangit.

Wrong.

We should probably try that.

Please don’t tell us you put ketchup on hot dogs. 

Maybe I am aging out of the ‘new car’ game, but it seems like more and more things will never apply to me. I can’t imagine being in the market for a (fast, luxe) crossover that costs the same as a small ski condo. 

Different descriptions for the same take I think. No other company is going to charge people for the pleasure of being beta testers.

We (happily) moved to a very rural place early into Covid. We’re about 70 minutes from a decently-sized town. I’d love to go there to shop and/or dine, but the drive home turns me off…

I thought these were appearance packages only. Suppose I can stop learning today. 

Tesla is going to be the only one dumb enough to sell any kind of “full self driving” feature for a while. The technology isn’t quite there, even for Tesla, and it will remain a key differentiator when compared to everything else on the market. FSD and the Tesla charging network will keep people interested in whatever…

Spot on. 

You were going to drive a Tacoma in Tacoma? Maybe you should look for one of the ‘Islander’ Wranglers for your upcoming move. 

Shoo-boy. Aren’t the SXVs reliability nightmares? I think I would rather have a Lucas-era Triumph. With glass piston(s).

They’re getting better.

I lived West of Denver until a year ago, and I have owned some version of the first three bikes. GS11 and 1150s feel downright agricultural, especially compared to the other two. KTM is nice, but may be a bit overkill for a new-ish rider. The Uly is the only bike I regret selling, but mine ate buell-specific stators.…
