A few recent reviews

Haven't thought about those Raleigh Choppers in a while.

Really brilliant execution of associating the love for motorcycles by young riders (bicycle riders that is).

I had an older cousin who had a bike shop that was primarily stuffed with green Raleigh adult 26 inch 3 speed bikes (and a few Motobecane 10 speeds, I still see plenty of those old 70s bikes on the road in Chicago) and then suddenly these Choppers shared the space, completely different stuff. I loved the console shifter in between the dual small diameter top tubes.
 
loved the shifter...mine had a wadded up pack of baseball cards in the spokes.......because motorcycle.....the banana seat was perfect for shorty:wink:
 
Lol That is the first owner I have ever seen in 24 years that sits on his front bumper/hood in normal conversation:eek:
 
Nice review --- kinda like that fellow -- funny - my son had suggested the Nissan GTR (never driven one and not really excited about it ) and I came close (twice) to pulling the trigger on an R8. SO happy that I went with the NSX. As this guy says, can drive it comfortably, and can drive it aggressively. Such a great car! Jay
 
Thanks for sharing. As I’ve said since we brought the NSX home. The GTR is a sledgehammer, while the NSX is a scalpel.

Spot on with the steering, gearbox, tq vectoring, interior noise, daily capabilities, etc.

If it was possible to build a 1500hp NSX, I would no longer need the GTR ;)

8 out of 10 times I take the NSX - 10 out of 10 the wife takes the NSX. She hates the R35.

BTW camera on the rear makes the car sound great !! I’ve gotta put the GoPro back there.

It was a interesting read. Always love the Acura NSX, the machine is great to drive in all conditions. It has impressive designs and good performance.
 
Within the past week or so several articles/reviews have dropped in Japan (if you view them in Chrome should translate good enough to understand what's going on)...

i. summary - features the new RDX touting how special it is (handmade by the same skilled craftsman who make the NSX, 100 people who work with robots like they do on the NSX, painted with the same paint/color as the NSX, etc.) and referencing the new NSX over a dozen times purely for brand building up the new SUV (too bad this associative benefit will dwindle when it all soon becomes past tense)

ii. summary - compares Gen 1 to Gen 2, discussion about Type-S, "Acura branding convenience for the naming of Type-S", new suspension, etc. and interesting tid-bits like due to the pandemic it could not be tested at Nürburgring in Germany during development.

iii. summary - features a genealogy of the NSX (from F1 days and on) but the best part is a nice gallery of close to 80 images of the new Type-S at Honda's Takasu Test Course

This article just released is not really that informative but does offer a few more shots of what Carbon Matte Grey Metallic (Gotham Grey in US) looks like indoors. The point was the minimum annual income needed to buy a Type S in Japan at ¥28,600,000 w/tax (~$248,000-$250,000) is ¥57,000,000 (~$495,000-$500,000 USD) and of course they're sold out.
