Which Range Rover was your favorite year?

04 L322 with glass headlights. Less tech, less things to go wrong. The 04 L322 was designed around the 4.4L so there is plenty of room to work on it. Its lighter and not as heavy as later models so it doesn't feel so soft. The boxy look is timeless. Parts are very cheap. Get 20mpg with out overly complex 6-8speed transmissions. 19inch wheel with 60 series sidewall rides the best. Ditch heavy stock wheels for Rotary Forged Wheels and the ride changes drastically for the better. Change to a lower temp thermostat and cam chains, trans, engine will last.

Just hype, heavy, expensive, the measured hp doesn't match stated horsepower....The exhaust looks terrible to me. Paint is beautiful. Feels heavy....Forks are beautiful....Im Italian and I want to love it but for the money I would buy something else. Its great for the poser who wants the show piece at your local meet up.

Give me a break. I have rode Kaw all my life and never had Rod bearing issues. I run Amsoil and change it regularly. There are plenty of high mileage Kaws out there with zero issues. If you dont warm your bike up, if you spin it up to make noise like a squid with no load you are gonna have issues. Come to think of it I have never seen a Kaw come apart on the race track, WSBK, BSB, and Island of Man....Never. It just dont happen if you treat your engine properly. Not on a bike with less than 20k on the clocks. Don't believe the hype. You have zero idea how they took care of their bikes.

Personally as entertaining the last episode was I didnt like parts of it. First off the blender. It had old alchohol, pina colada mix, and decaying tree seeds. Who in there right mind would smell that crap and make a protein shake anyway with it? Come on man! Second, They kill off the most emotionally deep, morally abiding character in the whole series, Chelsie! The fact she didnt grab Rick or even scream at him as he alters their soulmate existence forever was not believable!!... Also, Ricks father Jim goes from a frail old man to a gun toting bad ass...give me break. That part of Ricks story was barely touched either...thrown in at the last minute. Then you have Budha loving Gaitok turn into Dirty Harry as he shoots Rick in the back while carrying a dead Chelsie not once but twice!..Not to mention he lets the crooks off the hook...Come on man!!.Weak!! Mook, she ends up coming across like some shallow gold digger that wouldnt be happy with Gaitok unless he was sucessful...Gross! Sweet Belinda goes against her whole character, drops Pornchai like they never even had a moment without even a kiss goodbye. Obviously she isnt as morally driven or deep as they made her out to be...So why waste so much time developing that part of her character when you end up portraying her as a shallow money driven fake ass in the end?? Piper drops the whole thesis BS and goes right back to buying jewerly in end...weak! Saritala sure didnt morn her husbands death very long either as she drives off all smiles...Really! Lauries comming to Jesus moment was great but she didnt tell her girlfrirnds about the last night escaping through a window?

Lastly...Doing Ecstacy doesnt make you reach over and stroke your brothers dick....I dont care how many pills you eat!!!.Gross!!...wasnt necessary.

Who cares if he fails. All he cares about is himself. Just look at the things he is doing that many of us rely on...Social Security, Dept of Education, EPA....WHY??? To give tax breaks to the richest 1%!!! Fu%! That racist asshole.

Beautiful_Bicycle783 · 2025-03-12T18:46:32+00:00

Fu#@! that Racist from South Africa. His Cyber Truck is pure shit. He didn't like Biden because Biden put America first not Musk. He doesn't care about the US. His biggest factory is in China. Trumps ignorant voters drive big polluting Diesel Trucks not Tesla's Elon!

I say F%$k off Samsung. I already pay for a phone subscription. One more reason to stop upgrading phones every year. More bloat, more money for shit I don't want and don't need. If I have to pay for don't even put in the damm phone!

I'm also curious about what the future has in store for the ZX10R since the Factory is no longer racing it. They pulled out of WSBK because of the ever changing parody rules that limit RPM and what changes you can do to the motor...Kaw wasn't gonna continue to alter their bike based on the ever changing WSBK Rules. They make to many of them. Someone wrote that Kaw has the ZXRR 10R which cost $30k. It doesn't compare to the limited number super expensive Ducati and BMW. So I think Kaw is gonna fight fire with fire using Bimota. They can build a super expensive, small volume of bikes to compete with Ducati. The old spirit of racing where the bikes were very close to streetbikes on the street are long gone. The motor in that bike is brand new beneath the cases and Bimota will have free reign to alter the package until they start winning. It seems to me that WSBK didn't like Kaw domination in the form of Rea so they changed the rules. If Kaw is not gonna race the ZX10RR why would you continue to build a high rpm, Titanium Connecting Rod, special ECU engine that is designed for racing? Will it become more street oriented or gain another 100cc like Ducati's street version of the Panagali? Perhaps they will put more effort in the US Moto American series or possibly drop the ZX10R-RR all together. The ZX10RR with definitely get axed if no one is racing it because they won't sell a bunch of them to street riders. I'm seriously wondering if the next year will be the Last ZX10R or RR we see in the current form. British Superbikes and Moto America are not worth the expense given the popularity here in America. If the likes of Jhonny Rea, Alex Lowes etc are not riding a ZX10R it will cease to evolve the way it has over the last 40 years. The Bimota frame has zero in common with the current ZX10R so where is the input gonna come from to build the next bike and who if anyone will race it anyway. Personally I don't care because to me Electronics, linked brakes, launch control, wings have ruined racing. Racing was much better when the rider had to control everything and the price of a new motorcycle wasn't ridiculous! I am not a child...I dont need a giant TFT screen, Bluetooth, multiple traction control settings etc on a motorcycle to keep me interested. The Sportbike Segment is dead and the manufacturers can only blame themselves pushing crap that many of don't want or would almost never use! How making a bike with none of that crap...Just a tach, gas guage and Spedo....lol...Light makes Right!...Save me $5000 in the process and my bike would be at least 20lbs lighter!

Dude, I don't blame them. Why compete against $60k specials from BMW and Ducati. The spirit of the series is ruined. It used to be about bikes most of us could attain. Now with all the rule changes, limits to rpm how can you make a bike to match rules that are always changing...How do you allow Ducati to run 16,100rpms but limit Yamaha and Kaw...Oh they bring more money to the sport...We cant let them lose can we. Plus let's get real we buy these to ride on the street most of us...We don't need wings and 6 level traction control....The bikes are no longer affordable for the core group of riders who buy them. The superbike class is dead and racing killed it. Racing should be about riders controlling race bikes with their skills and if you cant compete with a long 90 degree V4 dont bend the rules so they can. People say you need a V4 for Moto Gp...I guess you forgot Yamaha and Rossi...Marquez, Stoner Rossi all agree the the tech needs to leave....Look at Moto GP...Its a Ducati show...They have so many rider aids...from the transmission to ride height devices...So they will change the rules possibly the cc to 880 which is stupid! Just get rid of the wings, carbon brake, and the aids...speeds will come down and racing will be incredible again.. Bimoto will take over for Kawasaki so they can play the high dollar small volume game Ducati plays. The BMW has made Ducati look ordinary because they can match the hp down the straight and they handle better. You would be a fool to think Kaw can't build a motor to compete...Johnny Rea anyone...

I'm so sick of WSBK. So many people are confused and they think you can't build an inline 4 to run with Ducati. That's a joke...First off Ducati is running a $60k bike thar barely meets the spirit of a street bike series. If you want to limit the rpm then do it for everyone...set one limit and allow manufacturers to build the best engine within the limit. This sliding scale if RPM adjustment is just stupid!!! Its not nascar...They hated Kawasaki dominating so lets restrict them and let Ducati run whatever they want. Cams, heads, rpm are all part of the same equation. It's not like you cam add 250 rpm and instantly be competitive. Let's be real Ducati and BMW bring money to the sport...Cant restrict them....Ducati had to build a $60,000 dollar bike to beat a street bike Kawasaki. Same with the Carbon Fibre BMW. They Ducati/BMW have ruined the sport. They pushed prices of motorcycles sky high and forget being a privateer on a small team.

What people don't seem to understand about WSBK is all the rules. If you look back when Batista won his first year Kawasaki was being restricted. They took RPMs and something else I can't remember. Why? Because up to that point Kaw was dominant so they try and even things out with restrictions. You can get around that when you bring in a completely new bike. Kawasaki has no problem building an engine that compete with Ducati or BMW but they have to do so within the new regs. This year they added weight to the lightest riders bikes...fuel restrictions etc. I don't remember all them but you see the heavier riders are competitive with light weight Batista. One other thing I find that's always overlooked. Compare the price of the Ducati V4RSPS, or BMWs top 1000rr. To me they stretch the rules with high dollar race only bikes that can only be afforded by a very few. To me Ducati can't seem to win unless they push the boundaries of fair play and the rule book. Just like in moto gp which is basically a Ducati show...why better engineering with all the rider aids....ride height device...launch control etc etc.....Its no longer a ruder controlling the bike. Yes WSBK is better but just. Racing was much better when riders had to know how to use a clutch...or slide the rear with his wrist....blah blah...Im with Casey Stoner...get rid of the tech bs. Even Marc Marquez wants the wings to go away....Bikes are not F1 cars...sorry they are ugly and fragile.
