I think they should’ve called it something else and the audience would be more forgiving. I like the look of it with its dramatic sweeps and curves, but if your eyes are waiting to feast on a Monster, this will leave them hungry.

~55 HP. 1996 Geo Metro. Pop the hood and the displacement was stamped in ccs on the engine. Put it in five body shops (teen driver in Alaska) but that thing was well over 200K when it moved to the next family. Unkillable.

Comfort.  Ridden as intended this thing should be an all-day bike on some hairy roads.  Can it deliver without needing a chiro on pillion?

Boom, purchased.  This is a great series; please keep it up!

Huh.  Did not know Marquez was a University of Florida grad.

I have an unlimited appetite for the article genre “Mercedes finds cool weird car stuff.” Right up there with ones about David buying sacks of iron with automotive silhouettes. 

Whatever the long term outcome H-D is going to be a fascinating case study. The general perception is that if a company shrinks it is failing. Sometimes that’s true!

That’s a lot of scooter and a competitive price.  Unless this thing has tons of bugs it is going to be a hit.

Always be an A+ parker.  Equally spaced between lines, never in a compact spot when I’m not compact, etc.  

2016 Viper. Put 25K miles on it including blowing one engine, thankfully under warranty. When that warranty ran sold it—the service manager told me it would have been about $30K if it wasn’t under warranty. Loved every drive and met plenty of cool people just in the grocery store parking lot or gas station who wanted…

Yeah they were so bad it made FoMoCo divorce International.
