I like that is has an optional factory top case and flyscreen. It could make for a nice commuter or light tourer. Then maybe add some R6 forks...

They're every bit as authentic as new Triumphs. And every member of the "original Indian team" has been dead for a very long time.

If this comes to the US for $6,500 it may be worth picking one up. It has a little more power than an SV650 and weighs less than 400 wet. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/firstrides/2014_yamaha_mt_07_first_ride/

Personally, I think the whole democrat vs republican thing in DC is nothing but a smokescreen to fool the populous. When the cameras aren't rolling Dems and Repubs are buddies that want nothing more than to keep the power they already have and keep building their personal fortunes. If it was in either party's best interest to cooperate it would have happened 40 fucking years ago. The answer: Congressional terms limits to root out corrupt career politicians. Politics was intended to be a service to your country, not a career. http://www.rollcall.com/50richest/the-50-richest-members-of-congress-112th.html

The focus groups determined the product should appear to be 25% more metal than the last crappy albums. They used to be a cutting edge metal band, now they have as much musical integrity as <insert current boy band here> Guitar Hero? Remastering tracks for the game? That doesn't sound very metal to me

I love to party. I kinda feel like partying right now.

I blame all the f'ing independents.

Having had a 2011 Fatboy as a loaner for 10 days, I concur. If you've ever driven a truck with no power steering, a Fatboy may seem familiar to you.

Jesus-tap-dancing-Christ. You have a 998 and you eat cooler toast than me? Not even fair

^^^ Sat on it at the MC show. It looks really good in person.

Do you ever ride with SCR? How well do you know WV backroads?

Hero is the second largest maker of motorcycles in the world. Granted, they make small displacement, inexpensive bikes. They also had a long business partnership with Honda. I would imagine their quality is at least pretty good. Remember, when they started selling 'Japanese Junk' motorcycles in the US...everyone assumed they would be really crappy. If Hero is smart they'll offer a long warranty. That worked really well for Hyundai and Kia when they were trying to break into the US market.

I still listen to their old stuff, but the 'Some Kind of Monster' movie was pretty much the end of me giving a fuck about them. James should retire and find something else that makes him happy. That's what he wants anyway. Kirk should start his own band. They'll probably be incredible. Lars is one of the biggest douchebags on planet Earth. He is one of those people that is just really easy to hate. He should suck on the muzzle of a loaded shotgun.

I'll be the grumpy old fuck and say that anything they made after Justice is complete garbage.

Secksy bike

Lose the center stand. The rest...meh.

^^ Yes. 2006 was the first for Gen 2.

It looks very KTM-ish. 79bhp (crank) and 353 lbs wet would be all kinds of fun

jbot looks like a panda penguin hybrid.

Are the weight figures for the cbr 'curb weight' and for the Kat the old fictitious weight without battery, tires, or any fliuds?
