What I find interesting is that they used a dual rotor setup rather than a single big rotor like many other 125 class bikes. The dual pot brembos are great.

Look at this stupid advertising: This is what Alliance Powersports, new distributor for SYM after Carter Bros' factory burned down, came up with for the new SYM Wolf Classic, a Honda CB-inspired 150cc motorcycle. Who the gently caress are they targeting? 15 year old boys? They aren't buying these! Hipsters and scooter people are buying these, and they aren't appealed to with lightning.

This was a missed opportunity and he could have had some fun with it. Leaking this note is a juvenile and boring display of street cred preservation, which is a transitory thing--they all sell out eventually. Look for him to be featured in Amsoil print ads in 5 years. Besides, any moron would realize that someone representing the young adult market wouldn't be peddling $20,000 trash wagons. How many aging accountants have opted for a "luxury" Sportster 48 or XR? Dial a cliche, baby...

I hate Wes Siler so much. He's gonna ramble on about being a motorcyclist yet he never takes his review bikes anywhere more technical than the snake? He's a motorcyclist yet he turns down free rides on someone else's bike? He's the guy on a Harley who looks down at you because you bought some Japanese crap, except he owns a sportbike. Good job buddy, you've redefined poser.

Part of the reason I never gave a poo poo about the site after the paywall went up was because of what an insufferable hipster the guy is. Some entertaining articles, but not much beyond that.

nsaP posted:Waiting for an update on this... It'll be a bit. I work a compressed work week of 12 hour shifts where I only work half of each week. 4 on, 4 off, 3 on, 3 off, and so on. This means I only see the guys from the back half of the week once every two weeks on the start of my long week. And that being said, we are going through a fab (we work in a clean room) conversion and I haven't seen him in about a month which means he probably isn't doing much right now and has his passdowns outside of the fab. (I would always see him in passing, we gown in the same area) So, give it time. I'll make a point to seek him out though.
