I always think of these things as snowmobiles for the road. Which is fine if that's what you want, but I don't think it compares to a motorcycle.

Ducati Debuts the Multistrada V4 RS and Diavel V4 RS, Yamaha YZR-M1 V4 Revealed, Souo S2000CT Bows, and Honda's EV Gets a Name The custom bike this week is a wild KTM 690 Enduro R.

The latest newsletter is up! #Ducati V4 RS models are the coolest, but #Yamaha V4 is a close second for me, with the #Souo 8-cylinder power cruiser taking third in my list of priorities.

It's also cool to see #Honda EV moto get its name.

I feel like they’re going to make a comeback. Guys were buying adv bikes who used to buy these but I think most of them realized they never really go off-road.

I get the sentiment but I think the next bike I buy will be shaft drive. I’m over keeping a chain clean.
