I can’t believe Coheed & Cambria sold all those albums, and dude is still driving a 99 Corolla.

You know, I’ve never seen one of these cafe builds with slow motion sparks. These guys are breaking visual ground, guys. We’ve just seen the future of self-indulgent bike build videos.

This is the kind of bike that inspires a truckful of Ed Hardy tweakers to point a gun at you. Caveat Emptor, etc etc.

It will be a lot like the SV650 & the SV650S if it happens. Fairing, clipons, MAYBE different gearing.

Every November, Jennings GP (north Florida) hosts a 250cc/300cc endurance weekend. If you want to assemble your crew of flunkies to take on me and my friends, I’ll have my B bike ready for you.

I think the biggest issue with that is that the development cycle for a 600 isn’t any cheaper than that of a 1000; if we want similarly-specced and -teched 600s, they’re going to cost as much as a liter bike.

The day before my mom’s funeral. I’d been riding for about a year; hadn’t really learned as much as I should have, and was nowhere near the rider I thought I was. With the whole family in my house in varying stages of grief, I needed to get out, if only for a few minutes. Hopped on my EX500 with just a helmet, no real…

I’m about this life. Thank you, Michelin.

Anybody taking odds on the over/under of replies that involved some variation of “you didn’t include my (insert brand/model here), which is the best helmet ever to grace the brow of mankind?”

CTS Coupe (non V). It looks the business, but definitely drove like your grandmother’s Cadillac. Ho hum engine, numb brakes, and utterly underwhelming in every way. 100% wiener softener.

Sean, I CANNOT believe you’d so besmirch the weeks-old tradition of the hallowed Lanesplitter name by posing your opinion in an editorial.

Honda has telemetry-based proof that Marquez tried really, really hard to pass Lorenzo.

In situations wherein two bikes are about to occupy the same space, you have to extend parts of your body to keep them from getting tangled up. Usually, it’s an elbow or a knee. When I’m racing, and I feel a bike or body on my arm or leg, I extend it to make sure bars, clipons, and bodywork don’t snag, which would…

It’s a parallel twin; HP numbers are probably underwhelming when compared to its competition, so they’re highlighting the engine’s better point - the torque.

A few weeks ago, I stopped in at my local hipst- ahem. . .”neoclassic” bike shop on my very-close-to-classic Ducati 748, and was greeted like I brought a feces centerpiece for the dinner table (by everyone other than the very-cool owner).

Dude. Bless you.

If the FMC marketing department’s finger is anywhere remotely near the pulse, they’ll bury a Bronco in Texas sandy dirt before the official announcement, then have Chuck Norris pound a few beers before driving that beast out of the earth like some sort of elemental Freedom monster.

There’s a chance that it will be the previous-generation R1 (09-14, I think) in Bold New Graphics, a la the 06-09 R6S was actually the same bike as the 03-05 R6. Kawasaki also did this with their ZX6R/ZZR600 in the early 2000s.

Congrats to you for realizing, accepting, and acting on your appetite for risk. Too many guys are too proud, too stupid, or too adrenaline-drunk (both on the track and, more scarily, the street) to do the same.
