This is cool, but I'm waiting to see it in a lightweight ADV package.

 

if i had another modern civic id buy it because its neat lol

 

I have no need for one, and maybe I'm so use to seeing insane prices for things......but at $995 it's a bit surprising. I was expected a lot more.

 

Yeah, I understand esp if you weren't aware of that effort.

That thing is cool. 85hp with the race exhaust, that's as much as my Hyper with 100lbs less and a slew of neat electronics. They've also announced they're entering Motocross next year with Tony Cairoli as a test rider.

 

Probably needs an oil change every 500 miles though. It's still an Italian bike after all.

 

Nope, 15,000km and 30,000km for valve check

 

Intentional exaggeration for the joke based on the stereotype.




































Yes, I'm a Japanese bike fanboy. No, I would not buy an Italian bike...... unless I win the lottery. Then I'm buying all the bikes.

 

Huh.... Had no idea what gore-tex was beyond the marketing. The chemical makeup/manufacturing was never something I looked at. Learned something today.

The Aprilia SXV and MXV needed oil changes and valve checks if you looked at them wrong. But those days are long gone. I've had many Japanese and many Italian bikes, the fit and finish of Italian bikes is so much better, but the new Ducatis are waaaay too nice for me

 

I was half-seriously considering getting one to throw in the back of my Tesla, but then I realized only a douchebag would do that.

 

So... what's stopping you?

 

Dealer markup is silly right now.

 

They're marking up the gimmicky suitcase bike? Lame.

 

They’re not supposed to be marking them up.

You can look at the Dream Shop and find a dealer that’s not making it up.

 

I ordered a Tyga fender eliminator on Saturday, it shipped from Thailand on Sunday, I got it yesterday and installed it today. I’m so happy I didn’t pay $200 for the R&G one.

 

The track is the safest place to be. Sure you reach high speeds momentarily, but that’s what leathers are for. Still way safer than being on the street.

 

True, but one of our friends just highsided a few weeks ago at the track and she's pretty worried about it. She still wants me to go so it's not like I can't next year but I think she was a little shaken up.
