Sharing just to annoy my 800-odd followers into ignoring #motorcycles, and then griping because this list is kinda dumb.

1) they're all Japanese. BAH!

2) yeah, you can't buy a Yamaha XT660 but you can buy a Super Tenere for like, 14 grand. As in, "you'll pay more for a Yamaha than you will for the equivalent BMW or Triumph." I got to imagine the 660 would be stupid expensive once imported, too.

3) You can buy a Versys 650, but nobody does, because they look like a Krell toe from Forbidden Planet:

4) MY BIKE IS NOT ON THIS LIST AND IT IS WAY MORE AWESOME THAN ANYTHING LISTED

(especially once you clean the tail up - yikes dat fender)

5) Fuckin' Vyrus 985

Questa la Vyrus! Solo questa… e la Vyrus! Buono?
