1. Triumph’s eight-valve, liquid-cooled parallel-twin High Power 1200 engine returns, with some key updates to give it the Scrambler Tune. Using the Thruxton R’s engine as a starting point, the Hinckley engineers introduced a lightweight crankshaft, lightweight alternator, mass-optimized counterbalancer-shafts, and revised clutch assembly to allow the motor to spool up more freely. The result is a light, punchy, playful motor. The Scrambler Tune ekes out more performance from the High Power engine, claiming to achieve 91 horsepower at 7400 rpm and 81 ft/lbs of torque at 3,950 rpm—roughly 12.5 percent more horsepower and four percent more torque than the T120.
1. Horsepower. It is obvious that Honda is over their “slow-is-better” phase. With 60.21 horses, it is an awesome engine from bottom to top.2. Ergos. Nothing feels as nice, comfy and well-laid-out as a CRF450.3. Electric starting. Ken Roczen dropped it for the weight, but we’ll keep it for the ease of use.4. Maps. We like the maps, but we always ran the stock one. The aggressive map felt crisper but actually gave up one horse everywhere.5. Handlebars. Lower is better. The oversize Renthal FatBars mean adios to 7/8th inch bars.6. Launch control. This is the first time that Honda added launch control. It is overly complicated but offers three different settings.
The YZ450F shock has new damping and a stiffer shock spring. We thought the stock spring would be too stiff for light riders, but it was an improvement for all size riders. Riders from 140 pounds to over 210 pounds can find their sweet spot in stock trim.
I’ve driven in vehicles with forward sensing collision systems, and they were overly sensitive and sent false alarms for things such as going over railroad tracks. Driving along in a perfectly safe manner and having the windshield light up with flashing red and stay beeping at you is less than pleasant and also distracting. I pay attention when i drive, i don’t dick around with my phone or other distractions. I don’t need the car to tell me when it thinks i should brake, i already know.
It would be one thing if one could simply turn off all of this driver-assistance crap. I’d still resent paying for it but I could deal with being able to turn it off and having the default remain off even through key cycles. But most automakers don’t give you that option – at least not with everything. Most allow you to turn off lane departure warning/lane change assist. Most do NOT let you turn off automatic braking. Most also have the system turn back off after you turn the engine iff and then re-start the car. Subaru doesn’t let you turn anything off, which us why I’ll never buy another one.

From there, things went similarly to others who claim to have experienced the same issue. OnStar called, he eventually got the truck to fire back up (though the seatbelts were out of whack because of the seatbelt pre-tensioners), he cut the airbags out, and later brought it to the dealership, where a third party eventually conducted their analysis on what happened.
2) The availability of safe basic transportation is also a societal good. When people are severely injured in a vehicle collision, they often become for lack of a better term ‘burdens on the state’. Medical care, housing, personal care, rehab/physio, and perhaps even the care of their children/families. Reducing the number of people on LTD/etc reduced societal costs. So actually the opposite of what you claim, regarding cost. And an economic/utilitarian refutation of your Mahindra statement.
By acquiring Torqueedo, a manufacturer of electric drive marine motors, Deutz was able to cut five years out of the technology development needed to electrify their diesel engine powertrains.
The Sierra is arguable handsomer than the Silverado, mostly thanks to its more elegant grill, but the truck’s overall profile is likewise pleasing—athletic and imposing, if ridiculously massive. This, of course, is indicative of the out-of-control bloat in the pickup space in general; this generation’s full-size truck looks like a heavy-duty pickup from just a couple generations ago. This was acknowledged during the quick design briefing: that big blockish grille, we were told, was explicitly designed for "more of a heavy-duty look" because that’s what customers wanted. Looks like we’re just about back to the ridiculousness that is the International CXT and the children who love it.
"Ford and Mazda also have petitioned NHTSA to escape from recalls involving about 3 million vehicles, mostly made by Ford, but no ruling has been made yet."
