  1. Sticky prices on inelastic goods defying gravity once again. It's just oligopolistic pricing to gouge consumers.

    Although I recently read an article that said that markets are inefficient when prices are dropping because consumers don't search for lower prices. Whereas when prices are rising, consumers do in fact search out lower prices. So yes, perhaps sucker motorists.


  2. I realise you aren't keen on il4 bikes but I used a Honda CBR250RR to go through the license process a few years ago.

    I bought it at around the 32,000km mark and never had any issues with for the next 8,000+ km's.

    I had rode a few other 250s and I wouldn't do anything different as far as owning an il4 bike. I reckon by the end of my ownership, if the bike was any less powerful or easy to throw into corners I would have got very bored very quickly. Although a null arguement, I went on a few rides alongside Fireblades, GSXR thou's and Ducati's and the Honda held it's own very well.

    Of course I did a lot of commuting, central city and motorway lane splitting and had no issues whatsoever. Obviously would have been easier on a torquier twin or something more upright but made up in other areas. With the carb it was a little bit touchy on cold morning starts.

    Personally not a fan of Hyosung, so would ride a few of the listed Quackers or Hooondas.

    Definitely check out Kiwibiker too.


  3. I put a genuine tech two on a touring a couple years ago. No difference with the touring compared to a four door except that the rear pod that screws to the wheel arch doesn't quite sit perfectly. Certainly not overly noticeable. Apart from drilling lots of holes in the lower sill along the sides, which would be the usual anyway, it was fine.
