    That expired yesterday according to the fine print.

    But interestingly, I just got the reminder email from Spot as well.

    I'll definitely say the fcr is a hell of a carb. There's 2 versions though. The mx seems to be better all around unless you're purely road riding then the other non mx version is just fine.

    no....you can't do unicorn bones...both the EPA and PETA would have a shit-fit about it...and besides, unicorn bones are nearly impossible to weld...you need a live dragon's fire-breath to be able to weld unicorn bones...and there aint any in North, Central or South America....might be able to scare one up in the Pacific Rim countries

    At the prices BMW charges they must use asteroid alloys and lube the engine with the blood of unborn children.

    I agree more that it's rider preference. I don't care either way as long as it turns and doesn't break. Besides, a corporation will tell you anything to sell the product like when Honda said 2 mufflers on the CRF250 were better than 1 then the next year went back to 1 muffler and now doing it to the 450.

    Like in cycling it may lie more in being easier and labor wise, cheaper to produce since you can cast huge chunks of it that require little to no milling, can be extruded easier, melted at lower temps. I thought I had read the Japanese Steel isn't as cheap to produce as elsewhere in the world being on an island of limited resources. That and being it was MXA magazine, I can believe it.

    Oddly, the big players in the off-road, non-mx arena, Husky, KTM, GasGas, Husaberg (even pre KTM) are still using steel frames though TM has drank the cool aide.

    You read right, Japanese steel is some of the most expensive in the world. It isn't just resources, labor is high, Japanese mills tend to be older, labor is high, and the Japanese oddly, resist using some modern equipment that is very efficient, since it isn't made in Japan :eek1

    Those are on the low dollar "budget" bikes. Either way it has to match your whale foreskin riding suit and chinchilla scrotum gloves.
