Currently driving a TRX but have a 70 mile commute to work each day. Really looking at trading in for one of these. Love the day to day ease of the maverick
I came across this after i just discovered my points missing. 42k went to a maintenance plan i never purchased. They did try to sneak it into my contract though
I currently own and drive my 2nd '04 Saturn VUE AWD V6 (Honda engine)...it has 230K miles on it (bought it with 190K) & has never let me down. I bought it as a 'backup' vehicle because the car I was driving at the time was an '04 Saturn VUE AWD V6 with 325K miles...I thought surely this car would die on me with that many miles so I didn't want to get caught needing a vehicle when this one was done. Well, I put the 'new' car in the garage and kept driving my 'old' VUE...it just kept going, and going, and going...I put another 25K miles on it and finally decided to sell it and start driving the one with 190K. It took a little while to sell the first one because the mileage scared buyers away...but the car was well maintained and very clean (garage kept). Sold it for $2500 to a guy who needed a car for his daughter going to college...told him 'no guarantees' as he drove away! I pulled the 190K VUE out of the garage and started driving it as my daily driver. About a year later I was at a gas station and I guy walked up to me and said 'hey, you're the guy who sold me a car just like that one'. I thought I was about to get an earful (or something worse)! So I asked how long the car lasted for him...his response was 'my daughter still drives the car and she loves it'. Said she put another 30K+ on it. THE SATURN'S w/the HONDA ENGINE WILL RUN FOREVER with minimal/basic maintenance Let me know if you are selling the car in your video...I'LL BUY IT😊
I wish I watched your video before I made the purchase. In my area, riding season is also limited. I purchased my new Tuono 3 weeks ago, and I've only had it for 24 hours. It's been with the dealer twice already and it is still there now for overheating and brakes issues and my tank has paint issues as well. Missed trackdays some rides and it is frustrating. What does not help is I also discovered that Aprilia owners are in denial and turn a blind eye on its issues. I am in contact with the customer service but like what you said, there is no urgency. It really really sucks..
I’m not sure if i should get one. It will be my first car purchase and it’s definitely a cool idea but when everyone around me has gmcs and chevys and says it looks ugly it’s just hard to buy. I would probably get a xl hybrid
I am in love with how the mt10 looks it’s just the king of bikes at the moment. The fz1 is the cool dad but the dad is not as cool anymore then when he was younger. Anyway I don’t have the money for mt10 so I’m going to buy fz1 😂
Cool, this helps me to understand how it all works, because I need to do the opposite :D my servo motor stopped working and the bike is way loud because of that, so I want to install a new working motor in there:)
It is 2024 now. I bought a new Indian Pursuit Dark Horse Premium in August of 2023. Outstanding bike! The new HD offerings are quite good as well. However my Indian is absolutely a monster in stock form. I'm 6'2" north of 350 lbs. This bike rocks with me on it! Handling is outstanding. Ride quality is excellent. I have owned HD's since 1994 and currently own since new a 2000 Road King Classic. I love that bike as well. I also inherited a 2003 Victory V92C. All of these are great bikes in their own right. A great time to be a rider!!!
Ford is full of shit. They're playing good cop/ bad cop. They created artificial hype with this model just like they did with the bronco. They took orders they couldn't fill, asked me to drop options off of my order, then ultimately cancelled my order by press release, without so much as an email to let me know that I needed to renew my order in order to keep my place in line. I'm so glad that I saw it coming and had the presence of mind to grab up a Nissan frontier just in case. I ended up with way more vehicle for the money. Fk Ford!
I've been riding for decades. Currently, I have several bikes including a 2003 FZ1. Among the others is a 2013 Ducati Diavel AMG. If I could only keep one or the other of these I'd go with the FZ1. The Ducati, still under 10,000 miles, is a blast to ride but always a handful. It hates the city, slow speeds, and the absence of crazed laughter. Basically, anything under Mach IV and rubbing the print off the tires pisses it off. While fun and great looks, I still prefer the FZ. It's as perfect of a motorcycle as I've ever owned or ridden. If I think it the FZ just does it. With the Ducati if I think it It says, Oh, really, and then tries to kill me.
I bought one and installed it just over a week ago. I didn’t have any trouble with the instructions. Installed it in about 15 minutes. Nice quality of materials in the system and the one I have works exactly as advertised. Just adding a little friction so you don’t need to grip so hard to hold the throttle makes things much better. Out on the open road you can tighten it up and cruise all day with only an occasional throttle adjustment needed. My MT09 has enough torque it holds a study speed until it gets into serious hilly terrain. I guess a bike with less power would require more adjustments once it got out of level terrain. Knowing what it costs these days to cast and machine steel parts, then put a decent finish on it the price is fairly reasonable. I would definitely buy it again.
I heard a ton of dealer horror stories when shopping for a new C8. Thankfully there is a dealer called MacMulkin in NH that is the largest corvette dealer and they dont put any fees or BS extras on their cars. My car took 4 months to be built and was shipped to FL for 800 bucks. There was probably less than 10 emails between us. I never seen the dealer people or talked to them on the phone. It was an amazing experience.
Is it possible to install tuono factory handle bar in the Tuono base model. And is there any way to remove the rear pillion seat and put the rear cowl as the factory version has?
Noting this is a 3 year old video and owning a '22 Challenger, I'll say the throttle / misfire issues have been addressed through ECU flashes. Yes, the Challenger is more nimble than the HD RG - I've ridden both. The biggest difference isn't in the "specs" (both having almost identical dimensions) but in the feel and weight distribution. The RG feels very top-heavy where the Indian carries its weight much lower. The suspension is night and day different, as is the power delivery, both in Indian's favor. The liquid cooled Power Plus 108 revs much higher, but lower RPM numbers aren't much different. Grateful for HD and Indian both competing for the same market share - pushes both manufacturers to give us better products.
I bought my 2015 TDI in March 2015 just before all heck broke loose with Diesel Gate. I did all the required compliance upgrades and continue to be delighted with the car as my daily driver after more that 9 years and 120k miles. I enjoy the 6 speed, and knew more maintenance issues would be involved with the DSG. I get 49 mpg at a cruising speed I'll not disclose. It does not have road noise issues because I've stuck with the not inexpensive Continental OEM tire. You can destroy the acoustic engineering of a car by going with the wrong tire. I have a Lamborghini, three Porsches and parts hauling SUV (yeah, I'm not into SUVs). This is an awesome car! Perfect for daily driving, long trips, etc and I never worry about where I park. I'm sorry that Ferdinand Piech felt he had to fudge on the emissions, but I appreciate the ride.
