I had no problem staying stock on my MTS, the S10 will be stock also. I do like quiet!
I'm sure it'll have the "speed" aspect of it as well and all the other things you mentioned.I’m not buying it for it’s speed but as a good all around and versatile ride
Speed it has. Many will find 200km/h sufficient I would imagine and the fact that it pulls strongly up to 180km/h. Comfort it has. Great suspension it has,etc., etc.Koinz said:I'm sure it'll have the "speed" aspect of it as well and all the other things you mentioned.
124MPHRick said:I'd have to google 200 kph to figure out exactly how fast that is
180 kph is around 110 mph! My old 1990, 5 speed Ultra would only do about 110 mph on top end and just didn't like cruising at anything over 80 mph. Please post up some pics of your bike and let us know what you've done to it!troll said:man, what are all you young guys talking old and slow for - I am 60 this next month and I regularly commute at 180kmph and some times a tad faster on my 1600cc Harley. If it would go faster I would.
Jeesus!! My hairdresser also had a busa. 4 months in the hospital with his Mum at his side. His Mum was also a doctor...He isn't allowed no more Busa. Mummy has put her foot down....Jakeboy said:My old, Busa would cover 135 mph in third gear and was GPS clocked at 202 mph, once. I could have squeezed a few more mph out of it, but I ran out of bridge.
Yeah, that engine configuration hasn't won much more than world and national superbike championships and that goofy crank config was chosen by some dude named Valentino back in 2003 who then won a title or two with it. I understand riders are the main factor in titles so I wouldn't say the x-plane crank makes champions, but it seems the design isn't exactly holding them back either.markjenn said:I wish they had gone with the 360-deg crank also, but I think they felt they needed to continue the crossplane push even though it is turning into a bit of a boondoggle on the R1.
You are probably right. It would be fun to see an after market turbo for this bike, but that kind of stuff is not for me. I'd smile when I saw it though.troll said:that low compression would lend it self very nicely to a turbo. no need for head shims or low compression pistons.
