I made a post about that a bit back. As of now it seems like no grandfathered blue plates are making it through the digital safety. Which is pretty unfortunate for all the fully street legal conversions pre rule change in 2010 whatever it is. Hopefully that is fixed.

The "M2" chip Macbook Air is actually pretty reasonable as far as Macbooks go. It was on sale recently for $1089. M3 chip $1289. Most people should probably just wait for the M4 Macbook Air though. It's pretty impressive.

I don't believe it. It's just funny the things people speculate.

There are some people who say she has a chase car following her everywhere lol.

Great reliable bikes, enjoy it

Bearded Mechanic is 100x the channel this one is. Seems like a good fella.

Not exactly shocking considering California has close to the same population as Canada and an infinite riding season in most parts of the state.

Buy a snowmobile in this climate period

Heard a couple times now motorcycles that are grandfathered blue plates back when off road motorcycles could be road legal converted, are being denied in the new digital safety program where photos of the bike including the VIN plate are being required during the submission process. Hopefully...

Yep, and due to not having an intercooler, the intake air temps of a H2 are definitely high. As noted this makes it susceptible to pre-ignition, and gets around this problem by running a very low compression ratio in modern times (8.5:1). Back in the day before advanced tuning control existed...

Yes, to do any meaningful distance riding on a DRZ meant long stretches of high rpm abuse.

Will be curious to see how they compare to the current. There was an aftermarket gear set available for the DRZ that a fair amount of people added over the years when adding power mods. It was expensive and required a bit of case modifications though.

In a time where almost every bike, street and dirt is six gears, I'm just surprised a newly designed motor as they claim stuck with 5. Yes the ratios could be set-up fine with 5 gears though. An extra also doesn't hurt, especially a overdrive 6th. I often find myself searching for a 6th cruising...

Why they would redesign the DRZ and keep it a 5 speed is beyond me. Also would have loved it to have got a bit of a cc bump to a 450 maybe to have another good street 450 SM option. Still going to be a good bike I'm sure, I've owned and heavily modded a ton of them by now so I'm a fan...
