I’m a product manager for a living, which means I start a whole lot of product-related tasks and take them to 90% on the creative side, and then hand them off to other cross-functional folks to complete. It’s a job where my weird intersection of ADD and OCD traits really come in handy. I’ve been thinking about maybe someday getting another bike and was checking out the (really freaking sweet!) Honda NCX700X and saw this:
I died. I know exactly what happened here. The bike’s PM, doing most of the actual work as usual, hands off his/her copy created for the site to the “copy writer” in Marketing (don’t get me started), and the “copy writer” did what they do best, copypasta’d the PM’s work and then went back to Facebook (or something along those lines). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen shit like this.

The little extension off of the back looks like shit, same with the Triumph:
I looooooooooove this bike, excpet for the rear fender extension. That would be the first thing to die.

The worst part? The PM probably tapped this out on his/her phone in 3 minutes in an email during a meeting and the CR gave it zero thought. This was one the the millions of tasks the PM had to do and the CR had ONE JOB.

Oh! I thought you meant the bike in general. I grew up on dirt bikes and am particularly drawn to dual-purpose-y type bikes. I see what you mean, tho.

it is completely gutless. honest to god. rode this and the 500X back to back. the 500 was quicker.
and they ‘claim’ 70mpg...but you have to run it hard to keep up with traffic, so there goes that

Oh that’s bad, then. It would have to do comfortably do 80mph so I could take it to work. Honestly I just dig the idea of dropping the gas tank below the seat and having the big stowage compartment w here the tank usually is. That’s just such a good idea.

my dads BMW has 1/2 that equation lol. tank is under the seat.
but BMW made that the air box instead.
It will do 80...and it will sit at it all day. but once you start to push it into the higher RPMs, it becomes abundantly clear that the motor doesnt like it.
