180hp is a bit of alright. Now they need to invent tyres that will last longer than 1 day.

[Korea]

On the front page it says 180hp but on the spec page it says
Peak Horsepower: 120 bhp @ 9500 rpm


Well it's obvious, eh? 180 ponies at the crank and 120 at the back wheel -
Only 60Hp lost through the drivetrain... :bleh:

[The Pastor]

I think the specs on one page are for a differnt bike.

Good old americans with no style / taste (apart from harleys!)

[Sniper]

Sweet jesus, I havent laughed at a bike in ages.

[stunz]

Is it me or is the chain on the wrong side of the bike?...probbly just me...

[McJim]

Why don't the yanks learn that 90 degrees or inline is the best configuration for a well balanced, responsive engine.

They have to do so much to make the engine work at silly angles like 60 and 45 that it's a waste of bloody effort.

S'ugly too.
