The new Sportster comes in with 120 some bhp - up from sixty. And with forward controls. Otherwise bearing a remarkable resemblance to an Indian Scout.

Ohh, Double Denim, he must be cool.
120hp from a stock Hardley? What is it a 2 litre?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

The balloon tires remind me of a 1950's indian chief all right or a DC3 Dakota.

Well this is my first non motorcycle I think, but related. I clicked as I was intrigued why you might need this in some specific action.
No. It's just light.

How many of these do they ever expect to sell? I think the manufacturer and the online seller were optimistic.

From what I've seen the use of actual hand tools is becoming passe. 18V drills used on nuts rather than proper ratchets as an example. I've already told a mate still in the trade he's slowly losing the use of his wrists. Lightweight spanners for the limp wristed.
Maybe if you were flying with your toolkit a lightweight version could be justified. But only if you were paying the airfreight personally.
If I hit someone with a spanner I want them to know it. Another reason not to buy.

I'd wildly hoped for some sort of magnetic use issue, but. . .

Well it is an elastic material hard wearing and doesn't rust.
used a lot on north sea oil rigs i am told but has stregnth uses with notched.
I remember reading years ago pre collapse the soviets (who it seems had shit tons of it (yes i know the sr71 story) ) used to use it allegedly for shovels as it doesn't wear or snap at subzero conditions....looks like the army i used them as well
When they plated my arm i was a bit disappointed not to get titanium plates, the orthopod said heck no they are not strong enough.
I guess those ti spanner are a gift for those that have everything.....

Could that be because it wont spark against other metals? Sparks could be an issue around oil or gas vapours
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

maybe..... understanding was primarily it was the non corrosiveness .
aluminum can are banned from underground mines i never have really 100 got an answer why.
okay google
with TiThe general rule for underground coal mines, rule 29.1, prohibits unauthorized aluminum alloys underground. A fire spark can occur if some aluminum alloys strike a steel object.

ok, ta. I suppose there are dozens of Ti alloys with different characteristics.
A wprkmate had a Merlin mountainbike with a Ti frame - major selling point (besides the weight) was the pivotless rear suspension, where the bottom legs of the rear triangle flexed and there was a spring /damper unit at the top of the triangle below the saddle. Something that flexy isn't going to make a good wrench
