I think it will be a long time before you can buy an electric motorcycle for less than $3000, even used.

If you’re going to run your motorcycle on gas power, you might as well just get a gas motorcycle.

Well I’m sure if we put Elon Musk on it, he’ll tweet out a solution in no time.

Design a bridge that can take Cat 5 hurricanes in the open ocean.

No style.  No safety features of any kind beyond seat belts.  No power.  I didn’t check but I’m thinking bad fuel mileage. Unimpressive driving dynamics.  Meager features by modern standards.  So what does this have going for it? It’s in good condition, it’s comfortable, and it’s cheap.  Go look at what’s available…

Did someone say it was the car’s fault?

I predict this will have no effect on the criticism next time a negative Tesla story comes out.  Good effort though.

Again, I hope against hope to be dead wrong. I fear I am not.

Yikes. Big ol’ no on that one.

Not under the terms of any of these programs, no.  Way too much money for way too little value.

Plenty of states already do emissions testing, doesn’t seem like a stretch to me to ratchet those limits down until no ICE car can pass.

When has that ever happened?  The government is always banning the sale of new cars on ever updating criteria, and not once have they tried to stop sales of used cars.  So what makes you think it’s going to happen this time?

Well, I certainly hope you don’t literally die on your Goldwing.

That car is crying out, all right.

Except for the true rebels. They all have the same black Harley-Davidson.

Except other than the pandemic, it hasn’t been wildly inconsistent. It’s consistently provided them enough income for the year. What is so bad about the fact that it’s concentrated into a three month period?

Yes a driver’s license is obviously required to get the DOT certification. I was expressing disappointment that there isn’t any additional training or instruction required before legally setting forth in a giant truck.

Canonical example of bad:

Perhaps Jalopnik is not the right place to get your news. Traditional outlets might be more likely to report on all the facts to your satisfaction. Though they’re not immune from error either of course.

It’s a car blog that publishes stories about cool taillights; what are you expecting, the Washington Post?  It caught the eye of a writer, and that’s all it takes.
