Those of us who’ve bought Skyrim on like 19 different platforms agree.

It’s quite possibly one of the worst traffic bikes of all time, but still the favorite out of all the bikes I’ve owned/still have. Before I pretty much stopped riding on the street, I figured out the move is to take it to the mountains in my racevan, ride around for a few hours, then haul it back home. These days, it…

That’s a fair point; I’m operating purely on personal experience.  At the time, I was on a Ducati 748 with about the same HP and a little more than half the torque you quoted.  The Buell obviously didn’t handle as well, but I was really surprised at how slow - comparatively speaking - it felt, both off the line and…

Overweight & underpowered. Goofy ergonomics & worse aesthetics. Not sporty enough to sportbike and not Harley enough to cruise. A used helmet, especially one that almost certainly hit its expiration date a decade ago?  

It’s not going to be fast, handle well, or be comfortable for more than an hour or so - dirtshit styling aside (no accounting for individual taste), any bike worth having has to do at least one of those things. This thing is essentially midlife crisis butt jewelry.

CP 8 days a week; don’t spend $4,500 to spend the next few years wishing you’d found a twin-turbo model.

Sometimes you have to cede the day to the car/truck/motorcycle/whatever, and give it a few hours to think about what it’s done.

My 335d was throwing a lot of codes, so I did some light exhaust work & sent the ECU out for some straightening out, and now it does fun things (without throwing CELs). It needs a few things to be perfect, so I expect it will spend a lot of time on the Quickjack through the fall.

NP. . . if it comes with an M57 & associated running gear.

Destined to be bought for $18K after it gets dusty on the lot. The new owner will be inwardly underwhelmed, but shout “But it’s RWD!” to anyone who’ll listen to hide his Dockers-and-loafers shame.

My dad drove a Georgia State Patrol notchback 5.0 for several years; it was a great little car, though the automatic transmission was geared really oddly.  Even with a million great memories of it, the nostalgia isn’t enough to justify $25K.  CP

I love love love those wheels, but that price is 100% Pookie.

I was at a motorcycle trackday at Jennings a few years ago, and a dude pitted across from me was on a turbo GSXR1000. It looked like a handful. After lunch, he came over to ask me about the race line or something, and mentioned that the bike was for sale.

Thanks! They had been banging bars for a few laps, so I had a good idea that it was coming. Also, having a few Herrin Compound laps under my belt, I knew that turn is a great place to highside your face off.

All manner of bikes on track with a Canon 7Dii & 300F4:

If you wrench long enough, you’re going to to get your ass whipped by a job or two; good on you for not giving up and towing it to a shop!

It looks like a great example of a really good car. . .but it’s not something on which I’d spend $9K. CP

If you’re going to outfit an Econoline with all that extra weight & utility, you should probably start with the beefier 250 or 350 model. The good news is that you can fix almost anything that goes wrong with that 4.6 with hand tools on the side of the road. I sold my E350 motovan a few weeks ago (looking for a…

David, if it helps, I believe in you.

I drove one (a 2012 EcoSport) for a summer, and it was a good -not great- car. The only complaint I could find is that the performance never lived up to the aesthetic; you expect a car that looks this good to be a marvel in all aspects, but the technical execution, whether it was the handling or the slow infotainment,…
