No surprises here - I recall that the TT250 had a year of unavailability, in 2017, right after I bought my 2016 during their year end Christmas sale. Didn't see them again until January 2018. Even...

Just a FYI for those who may be interested in picking up a 2024 RX6 - CSC has dropped the MSRP $1200 to $5995. This is going to be the normal MSRP, not a one time special. So those of you who felt...

RX3 = Best at mostly back or off road riding, at a sedate pace; it's not a rally bike. Light, if you plan on picking it up a lot (365-425 lbs, depending upon how you configure it). ...

Don't Be Square, Daddy'o

I believe that the Haylon was a "freebie" - meaning that since it used the exact same TC380 engine as the SG400, it was able to piggyback on the same EPA/CARB approval and was a low risk venture for...

Let The Good Times Roll

The head of Norton is right - small to middle cc displacement bikes are where it is at, both in terms of weight and power. I really don't want to deal with more than 100 HP or 500 lbs; any more...

Careful Bob, Lukas also has a big bore kit installed on his bike, if I recall correctly. You definitely do not want to flash a map for a modified RX3 onto the RX4's ECU.
