There are plenty of bikes that aren't for me, but I get them. I may not appreciate them, but I get them.
I do not get this. Two-wheel transport has to be "cool" in some way to a kid, doesn't it? It can be cheap and still be cool. What seems to be cool to kids today is anything that caters to their narcissism. Their bike has to reflect them in some way. A cheap cafe bike is retro-cool. A scooter is geek-cool. Even a budget adventure bike can be outdoor-cool. You know what's not cool? Practicality and value. This looks like the Saturn of bikes. With the saddlebags and fairing, I can see it selling to downsizing Goldwing riders. New riders? Not so much. |
These young guys are decidedly way cool. Cooler than I ever was or could ever hope to be. Perhaps there is hope after all.

Because the Commander has a Stellar record as operating the safest, most-efficient base the military has (across all four branches of the service), they've elected to keep it open - a Predator Drone flight-training base. Beats the total-axe, which is what it was slated-for, I suppose. |
werent they decomed about 5 or 6 times now, the a-10's that is. Love that plane.

Occurs to me, with it's laydown engine design, one could modify their Honda CTX 700 wth the optional decomissioned A-10 sourced surplus 30mm Avenger gatling cannon. That would clear traffic and toughen up the image. Might need some stiffer fork springs though :)

everytime they landed my back was thanking me I was not actually doing that! I was there in spirit though... |
W.w.m.a.
When it comes to wine, women, motorcycles and airplanes all you need to know is what you like. One mans A10 is another mans Multistrada.
