I have seen people do it without the little front wheel touchdown he does at the end, which is somehow even more impressive

Another reason that supermotos are the superior motorcycling experience.

Even though I am too fat and old to do that I love to pretend it’s within the realm of possibility for me. :unsmith:

Why did they paint it like an r75? There were actual US Army motorcycles they could have cribbed a design from. And that rifle holster is :barf:

Evidently having the damping in a separate chamber mitigates a standing wave forming in the fork oil and creating a numb feeling at certain bump frequencies, although for my money I'd bet it's really because swapping cartridge stacks is a lot easier when they're conveniently on the outside like that.

The little bottle thing is a nitro reservoir like a shock has.

Between him, Plessinger, and Cianciarulo, Supercross actually has some personalities, and I'm hoping it starts spreading to other race series.

:hmmyes:

Not sure who in HD's design department thought a Road Glide fairing would look good on an adventure bike. The team designing the streetfighter looks like they cribbed the front end from a Diavel, but at least from the forks back it looks pretty good.

I'm out of the Harley loop, what engine is that? Looks water cooled. Could be good? Torquey V twins are fun as hell.

The adv bike has cancer in it's gas tank / fairing. The street fighter is ok, good try, but I doubt anyone in the market for a naked is going to pick that over the many other awesome naked bike available. Like that thing vs a new Indian FTR is no contest. And I doubt many "Harley" people are going for a streetfighter style bike anyhow. Still good to see them trying.

That streetfighter styling is spot on, imo. If the bike is any good, they'll sell tons. Only trouble is they need to be selling it now, not in 2020. You get a bike full of attitude combined with a marketing department designed to sell you attitude, it'll beat the pants of the Diavel in sales.
