Honestly, 10k on top of your 100k car for a package that improves performance everwhere, includes a warranty, and requires few comprises seems like a bargain. Read more

$10k in mods to a $120k car is like you or I spending $1k for an intake, exhaust and flash for a $12k used 07 GTI. Its all relative. Read more

Yes, cost is always the issue with Dinan's wares, sparking forum flame wars by armchair knee-jerks, and the engine upgrades are no exception. The full S1 package – the exhaust, the intakes, and the custom ECU – rings up at $9,747 and carries Dinan's 4-year/50k-mile warranty. As impressed as I was with the power,… Read more

Yeah, that article dove off the tracks in a big hurry after the halfway point. Read more

Oh wow. It's almost impressive how Mr Giesler manages to be a smarmy ass-kisser while also being a hugely arrogant and self-aggrandizing jagoff. Is this dude angling for a job a Tesla in case his awesome academic star doesn't quite rise? Or did he just wake up at his desk with a boner and figured he would just channel… Read more

I haven't read this article, but I just want to point out that puking is a pretty common reaction to anything you may see on huffington post. Read more

I'm going to try and clarify since a lot of commenters seem confused. The bikes used to run 24 litres of fuel and that got reduced down to 20. The engines were originally designed to run on 4 more litres than they are currently allowed. Honda cuts the fuel completely to one cylinder when at corner entry to full lean… Read more

In that Honda, more than any other manufacturer, uses GP as a place to test tech, this would be right up their alley, especially if it meant kicking sand in Valentino's face. Read more

I'm thinking the opposite: I'd rather have a guy in charge who actually experienced driving crazy cars with massive power in an era with terrible safety, not to mention almost died himself and has to live with a disfigured appearance to this day because of it. He has himself put his life on the line and faced terrible… Read more

I'm not convinced the best spokesman for a faster, more dangerous brand of motorsport is a guy who had his face burned off racing a car. Read more

I don't think its just cheap finance. Cheap finance is always a factor like in the real estate backed securities debacle or the growth in smart phone sales. Read more

People having a problem with this obviously know nothing of Ducati's history.

Gulf livery because racecar.

Man, this thing is a huge departure for Kawasaki. Steel trellis frame, actual top-drawer components (same brake calipers as Panigale et al) and what the hell is going on with that front suspension?! Air maybe? Read more

My dad was in the original movie. One of the opening scenes, the helicopter shot of the thousand or so bikes making a scramble start. (He's the one on the Ducati 250, hidden in all the dust, still trying to kick start his bike...)

There are plenty of keyless start, manual gearbox cars... Keyless just means you press a button instead of turning the key, with the fob in your pocket. It required the clutch pressed in to make it work. Read more
