My old bandit, cbr rr5 rear end on rose joints so it could go flat as a cafe racer or high as a German fighter![]()
You will have to keep us posted on the Focus ST, I test drove one and most of the drive I was like "no fucking way this is really a Ford...no way...car is quick...no way....".
I like the new MV F3 too, neat little bike, can't wait to do a track conversion on one.

1969 Tucker Sno-Cat 442. Still VERY much a work in progress with a full restore in process. Converting it to a 443 (fully enclosed sedan model) at the same time for hauling more people. And beer.![]()

Stated by Al Tucker to ill equipped riders on a dual sport ride.
Focus ST is very cool but 37k sticker? Insane.
Mmmmm, they are $25k down here for the focus? I took a non optioned up model out but the sticker was just under $25k? It had cloth seats, manual tranny and lower end audio stuff but was a really fun (for FWD) little car. I am guessing that the city and even highway fuel economy numbers are total bs but it was fun. The dealer I went to had a LOT of them so maybe they were just asking list, not list+ but, it seemed like a reasonable car for the money.
It was an ST BTW, driving the true base model was like waiting for a toaster to do its thing, the base/base/base model non turbo was about $16k?
Surely they are not such hot shit they are selling for 7-8k over retail?

Sticker was $34,999 It came home at $32,999 and 0% financing.
Took it up a twisty that i take the DD. Not neck-wringing as it only has 600kms but usually 160+ on the DD, I hit 160 in the ST. This is impressive because you need a good exit out of the S-corner at the bottom of the hill. 170ftlbs torque really helps coming out of the S hard. Gonna have to get out the GoPro and do a video!
