It’s your bike and you’ll do as you please? That’s funny.

I wouldn’t let you ride my Honda bicycle Ruefus. BUT I MAY STRONGLY CONSIDER IF I WERE WANTING TO SELL IT TO YOU!

Get it now?

to put this into perspective honda’s new single cylinder moto3 bike will apparently ALSO cost you $30 grand. gentlemen, if i’ve said it once, i’ve said it a thousand times… “welcome to the niche business that is motorcycling”.

I don’t think rapier was referring to the fact that other companies are partnering with one another. It appears he is referring to the self-imposed design limits put on the VRod motor when working with a company like Porsche.

I like Neal’s comment about the Guzzi motor when rolling off the throttle. That feeling and sound are two of many reasons Guzzis are so full of character.

Not about being wealthy. Some people don’t hesitate to spend 35-60k on a decked out vehicle with 4 wheels. My priorities lie on 2 wheels, not 4, because I simply can not get emotionally connected to 4 wheels. The only emotion 4 wheels stirs inside me is the feeling of being comatose. This allows me to spend that kind of money on a bike. Plus I save lots of money by doing the maintainence/repair work myself.

re: “There is something strange with valve caps. Something like GMC’s engines of WWII.”

What he said.

The fact that unless I win the lottery I’ll never own a Desmoseducci (sp?) doesn’t mean that it’s a bad bike and it doesn’t mean I’m not curious about it, it also doesn’t mean that others haven’t already bought it…
