“A Motorcycle You Absolutely Shouldn’t Buy”
Paso Motors Founder’s Bold Address on the XF300
In a statement as unorthodox as it is unapologetic, Wiltshire made his position crystal clear:
"DO NOT BUY THIS BIKE"
He then offered the following reasons:
-
Get a normal bike.
-
Get a bike that you can tell everyone about but no one will ask about.
-
Get a bike that makes you look like every other rider on the road.
-
A bike that you lose interest in after a few months.
-
Get a bike that makes you feel ok.
-
That’s kind of fun to ride.
-
Get a bike that looks alright.
-
Don’t take any chances.
-
Have an opinion on a bike that you know nothing about.
-
Don’t look at the reviews.
-
Come up with an excuse not to get this bike. Even if it doesn’t really make sense.
-
Play it safe.
-
Listen to your head, not your heart.
-
Don’t get this bike. You know you want to.
In a marketplace saturated with predictable machines and predictable marketing, Henry's declaration reads less like a warning and more like a dare - the kind of provocation that turns, ignites forums and quietly makes the XF300 even harder to resist.
