Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't modern irony (any of you pendants want to get into greek tragedy? I'll loving do it, even if you're Pallas and I'm Ajax I'll fight you on it  ) "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result"*?The intention of a wedding day is to be bright and cheerful. They're deliberately planned for a day that is not supposed to have rain. Rain showing up on the wedding day would be contrary to the plans and expectations of the bride and groom, hence irony. Or when you buy a motorcycle to be cool but you're on a BMW R1200RS. *or is this a modern definition shoehorned in to appease modern Americans because none of us really knows what irony is anymore?

I've always kinda liked the R nineT from pictures on the interwebnets and figured it had to be a pretty long bike, so I kinda wrote it off. Saw one today in person for the first time and... it's loving TINY. I can't wait until they get bargain cheap, I will buy the gently caress out of one. Like 6-8k cheap. Maybe I should look.

Stock suspension sounds pretty mediocre on the R Nine T. Makes for a real expensive bike once you replace it. Z3n posted:

I hear people are interested in small motorcycles, so here's a comparison between my old Yamaha and my new Aeon.  I should probably get a better photo to really show off the size difference. Otherwise, there is a person near my work with the same colored Aeon. I just hope he doesn't confuse our bikes, because...

I wouldn't call some dumb cosplay bike like that the opposite of an anime bike. Maybe a dadbike like a bone stock goldwing.

Sagebrush posted:It's super pretty and I wish more manufacturers would resolve their designs as well as that. Yup. It may not be super sleek and futuristic and poo poo but at least everything is cohesively shaped and laid out instead of just a scattergun of random angular plastic bullshit everywhere like practically every modern 'naked' bike.

In that sense at least I can agree it's a great piece of work, even though I find every last specific detail of the design to be  on the level of personal aesthetic preference.

I'm not asking you to like it, I'm asking you to respect it because actual effort was put in and it was designed by one guy with a very particular vision instead of a focus group populated by middle aged men with speed dealer sunglasses.
