    I look at it this way: If my bike is in poor enough condition to blow up from a few minutes revving on a dyno, id much rather have it do it there than on the road.

    Typically Public Liability covers for customer property in your care, custody or control, or under service or repair, but I still feel it is unfair to expect them to cover your bike on a dyno. What if the oil is 40,000km old, and you have screwed with the timing? Why should the dyno operaters be held liable when the bike siezes midrun, because you cant maintain your bike?

    Ummm - we're talking about what RM wants to do with a Virago - make it a Diavel.

    I guess thats the only way you could possibly make a Virago more ugly than they already are.

    I think sticking RM on one works a treat.

    Flawed logic - Could be the dyno that does the damage and becomes apparent on your next trip on the hershey highway

    How Ironic.
    Perhaps you could point out any proof of Dynos causing damage to vehicles? Nevermind the fact that many vehicles spend time on a dyno during production.

    Its one of those things you will never know if you have shortened the life of ya bike - try running in a sauna - if you have no Real need don't do it for the sake of it. Again if its been dynoed in the factory why the hell do you have to do it to a standard bike ?
