I’m still upset that this is a $12k bike. I really like this Triumph Bonneville Bobber , but damn, I can buy 2-3 other bikes I like used for that.

Also, $12k is C5 Corvette or GTS-T Skyline Sedan money (I’m really wanting an R32 sedan lately).

Unrelated:

My office is having a desert bake-off in which you can’t actually use any baking ingredients. I love that it says “you could make you’re vegan dish gluten free, sugar free or both” while also banning honey.

I guess I just don’t understand the masochism of vegans.

No meat in a dessert bake -off.

Cool looking bike, but spending $12k for a factory bobber is...silly. And a hard tail style seat on something that isn’t a hardtail? Hmmmmm.

That’s a rad motorcycle but yeah....$12k is OUTRAGEOUS!

Yeah, that soft tail Bobber concept looks really great in person IMO. I guess it’s technically a Harley competitor and it’s definitely priced like one.

I figured it’d be $8-9.5k, I was very wrong.

That sucks! But hey...in all truthfulness...that Triumph bike is bad ass...BUT...it’s made to look like how a bike should be BUILT...not BOUGHT....so if you’re looking for that style...build it yourself and it’ll be cheaper and actually be a lot cooler!

Eh, I want stuff that actually works and is built well. I like that an oem put in the effort to get the look right and engineered it to hold together.

Right on. That’s totally fair. And I completely agree with you: that somebody put the effort in to get the look just right. It’s a sick bike. But man...that price tag....

Yeah, I’d be curious to see what they’re running used after a year on the market. That’s part of my current issue, this and the Yamaha XSR700 are both new 2018 bikes so the prices haven’t gotten a chance for that sweet sweet depreciation yet, lol.

That hardtail seat with a strut under it looks like a bad joke. Definitely going after the “ office worker who plays biker on the weekends” look. Harley competitor indeed.

So just dirt pies. That is a dirt pie contest.

Very nice looking bike. But can we talk about this “vegan” dessert? That’s not a dessert, that’s a salad with fake sprinkles on it.

Dirt is the main course. Dessert is dirt with fake-sugar sprinkled on top, so you get the initial sweetness followed by the chemical aftertaste.
