Just one of those random observations while searching for a scooter for the wife. (she doesnt want to learn gears on the RG50) Other little rum-fueled and probably incorrect observations include
Honda have never made a real Ute, truck, 4wd or diesel.
Subaru havent done diesels.
Coke poured over ice, froths up stongest and for the bloody longest time right at the top of the glass when your waiting to add rum and your very very thirsty
You should always put the rum in first
Why is it when your breathilized you stutter and forget your address?
Suzuki didnt make a full sized trike.
Your average early 80's xr200 hasnt depreciated in the last 15 years.
RGV250's have gone up in value in the last 10.
The TS185er and TS125 havent changed (aside from colour and price) in over 25 years.
Kawasaki don't make saxophones either - that's why I like Yamha's.

Honda do made a real ute - the doublecab Ridgeline (US only). Here's what Honda USA have to say on it (http://automobiles.honda.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=Ridgeline). Before that they made the T360 and T500 in the late 60s & early 70s, Japanese market only kei cars. As far as a truck - the Americans call the Ridgeline a truck... Honda also make 4WDs, though some are on-demand 4WD, others are full time. They don't make a Land Cruiser equivalent (full size 4WD) though. They also make diesels, though Honda NZ does not import them. The Civic, Accord, and CR-V amonst others come in diesel.
Subaru has recently revealed the world's first boxer (horizontally opposed) diesel. It isn't in a production car yet, but it isn't far off. Here's an article (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/08/subaru-diesel-boxer-to-debut-in-geneva/) about it.

Yeah but they don't half sound tinny.
If only Yanagisawa or Selmer made bikes :D

And oil supertankers.
Which, according to some, is where they got the inspiration for the handling of the ZX-10R.

LOLOL From the man on the Honda, that means so little.
But actually, I prefer the 6R for handling.
But I did come across this when I was looking up new 07 models.

deeja voo?
Honda ... don't make a Land Cruiser equivalent (full size 4WD) though.
There's a Honda-badged version of the Isuzu MU, and I think also of the bigger version (Wizard?)
I guess they're probably still made by Isuzu though.

Yep. The MU is badged Jazz... Wizard badged as Passport or something. It was also called a Vauxhall Frontera in the UK, Holden Frontera down under, and Rodeo in the states. Izusu got the JDM Civic (Domani) and badged it Gemini, and the Oddysey, badged Oasis.
GM owns Isuzu. GM (some years back) made a press release stating that because they couldn't make an engine to pass California emissions, they were buying a whole pile of engines off Honda (something like 80,000). But Honda didn't just get the money for the engines... GM gave Honda diesel technology to sweeten the deal. It's a double edged sword for GM, because Honda will improve on the diesels with the amount of engine work they do, and they'll wind up in GMs as well, so both Honda and GM win.

'Cos you're pissed? I never have a problem managing to elucidate my address.

I'd need to ride a Suzuki to test that one! I'm sure Suzuki's scooters are waaay better than Kawasaki's...

I wasn't aware that super tankers were real bikes. Or transport either for that matter...:dodge:

to be honest i don't care what else they make,
and to be honest i'm kawsaki thru and thru
but the zxr400 did not impress me it was just too overally big for me...big tank etc...just makes you feel like you on a monster...
on a vfr i feel in control i feel i'm the bigger one and i can handle it....i found the 06zx10r easier to ride than a zxr400....
simply because of the fact the tank etc was smaller...
it went hella fast the zx10r but i would not be scared to stunt it.
to be honest...screw trying to rolling stoppie a zxr400...it's just plain too big...
rant over.

Useless info time, the 3 diamond sign on mitsi's was taken off the shape of the 3 blade propellor on the Mits Zero-the japanese fighter.
Kawasaki also made fighters and bombers during the war. (but yet dont make scooters)
If you look at the engines of many toyota celicas and MR2's you will find Yamaha printed on the block-the makers of the engine.
Honda tried to sell its motorcycles in the USA but nobody would buy them, the guys trying to find big buyers for the bikes took honda cubs with them to get around cheaply and alot of people showed interest in the cubs. After months of no sales of any bikes, it occured to them to start selling cubs, rest is history.
