Let me tell you something that might warm your heart. The all-time best motorcycle rag still to this day was Cook Nielsen's Cycle Magazine (RIP.) In the early-80s Cycle did a yuge mid-size street bike comparison including of course Honda's renown CB500-4 and Suzuki's GT550 and GT380 (the latter both 2-stroke triples.) GT550 (a bike I owned) won and possibly by their all-time biggest margin, CB550 being #2 and IIRC GT380 #3. I owned both the GT550 and CB500-4 (I owned about 80 bikes.) The GT550's only weak point was a lack of cornering clearance; it had tons more torque and was simply a better bike in every way. And the triple sound was fantastic, though the 4s sound great too.2 points

I am extremely impressed; it looks like show quality. The color is fantastic. IIRC Suzuki put the same color or just barely different on the 1976 GS750, the first truly great handling Japanese multicylinder sport bike. I had a Suzuki GT750, a '73 IIRC, but mine was the much darker blue metallic, not nearly as nice as this beauty. A reliable pro mechanic that loved the GT750 engine, said that its complicated lubrication system makes it more complex than Honda's CB750 engine w/chain driven SOHC. Amazingly, considering the 2-stroke architecture, the GT750 made more low-end torque than Honda's 4-stroke 1977 CB750 SOHC I owned later. The GT's air-box is pretty loud, IIRC rivaling the exhaust level under heavy load/high acceleration. The GT's worst offense was its limited cornering clearance; IIRC the 3-4 exhaust system ground first. The GT's' dual front discs just totally outclassed Honda's CB750 single front disc. I recall the first time I saw the GT on the Marin Sunday Ride, just staring at the dual discs like it was science fiction. We were taking our break at the dam just a few miles S of Fairfax, CA, just after the coasting race down the fire-road, a race that starts just above Bolinas Lagoon.2 points

onyxbfly is correct. Mine would have been $650, but I wanted the EDGE and Ford Performance graphics installed as well. Unfortunately the Edge firmware would not accept the graphics pack. The person that did this for me had to go through a third party since he does these for the Ford Fusions, but has never worked on the Edge before now. Now that he has the modified firmware, he can do more of them if anyone is interested. He also has a few of the masks for the Edge which can be the biggest challenge to source. His IPCs are truly plug and play with no programming needed on your side. His name is Robert Ingle and can be found on FaceBook.2 points

It was one of the first changes I made. Just cleaned them up, masked off around them and sprayed 4 coats of gloss black spray paint. Thanks for asking! I like to make subtle changes, like removing the factory badges and then using the black and red EcoBoost badges. One on the rear and one on the lower front corner of each front door. If you look at the rear side pic, you may notice the blacked out centers of the door handles. Used gloss black vinyl tape to cover them since other car doors kept hitting and chipping the white paint. Problem solved. Another touch was covering the Ford emblems and also using red gloss vinyl tape on the front grill inserts.2 points

Thanks @niceonept! We opted only for the front windows because in my researching these deflectors, numerous people online had said that the rears were troublesome, not wanting to stay securely in the channels and they created a lot of wind noise even with the windows closed completely. Plus it saved us about $50.1 point

Lowering makes it smoother & better handling. I’m in Ottawa & It was perfect here. Our snow isn’t the worst in Canada however so it depends on how bad your winter is. The overall Imo its worth it! Can always keep the stock springs if you don’t like it revert back but I am betting you will. The big brake kit & chassis stabilizers are expensive but I cannot even express the difference. It feels like a Audi S4 or something I was actually blown away at the differences. Overall besides the Engine Blowing its been an amazing vehicle I prefer it over my 2018 S5. I’m excited to see it with the bigger motor & Turbos though1 point

Those Rover owners probably don't know to turn off Trac! I dispatched an X5 40i (the 3.0 twin turbo 335 hp, not the 465 hp 50i). That model X5 rated at 5.3, but I think that includes the .3 rollout, so probably more like 5.6, and my tune gets consistent 5.2 0-60s on dragy. It is fun besting ~$60K-$70K cars with something MSRP ~$45K (tho I pounded the dealer for weeks and got mine for $35.6K)1 point
