    You can get motorcycles that are faster, better handling, better designed, and better built than the Baodiao BD150 Sport. But I defy you to find a production motorcycle that’s more greeeeen! Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not…

    When Executive Editor Jeff Glucker talks about two-wheeled things, he eventually gets around to saying that he really wants a modded Honda Ruckus. I keep telling him he doesn’t. It’s not that I fail to comprehend the attraction of a featherweight machine with a CVT and (for most of the USA) no rider licensing or…

    It’s just a repli-mod ’55 T-Bird gasser street car. Nothing special to see here. Source: Hotrod.com Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

    Harley-Davidson has announced that the Livewire — that’s the Motor Company’s debut electric motorcycle, if you’ve been living under a rock since 2014 — will arrive in dealer showrooms in August. They also nailed down two important numbers everyone was waiting to hear. The MSRP is $29,799. The range is 110 miles. Those two numbers…

    While discussing today’s post about the CLK500 around the mahogany conference table in the Hooniverse editorial suite, fellow staffer Robby DeGraff declared the C215 Mercedes CL500/600 to be “hands-down one of the sexiest looking cars ever made.” I’m not sure I agree, but this photo he presented as evidence definitely presents a strong argument. And…

    A pair of Toyota Siennas or F150s side-by-side is nothing remarkable. But owning a relatively obscure model makes running across a sister car more notable. In over 3-1/2 years of Kizashi ownership, I have never been verifiably close to another Platinum Silver Metallic 2011 GTS Sport. Even this one wasn’t an exact duplicate: the major…

    Ryan Frankenberg is a high-end cabinetmaker from Idaho who has become one of my heroes because of his wondrous scrap-yard build, The Fat Hippo. The Hippo is a remarkably functional trail bike that Ryan fabricated almost entirely from salvaged parts and raw metal stock. He regularly works to clear ORV trails on the public lands…

    I’ve had a vague knowledge of GM’s awning-style cargo access panels for years, but it never occurred to me how excellent they would be for a conversion van—light-blocking, secure and private one moment, nearly totally open sides the next. Genius. Now I want one. Source: Curbed.com Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day.…

    Suzuki has announced that it is lowering the curtain on their once all-conquering Hayabusa 1300, after 21 model years (and just one fairly mild refresh halfway through its life). The official reason is that Euro4 emission regs prohibit sales of the Hayabusa in the EU as of the end of this month. A 2019 model…
