No small torque.

MT-01
dry weight = 243kg
max torque = 150.3Nm @ 3,750 rpm
max power = 66.3kW @ 4,750 rpm

Rocket III
dry weight = 302kg
max torque = 200Nm @ 2,500 rpm
max power = 100kW @ 6,000 rpm

6000 rpm? Way too high. That MT01 sounds like a real tractor. Big Dave will love it.

Actually I though the V-max was overrated.

I forgot to mention that (at today's prices) the MT-01 is around ten grand cheaper than the Rocket III.

Sounds good to me

Audi A4 (tdi) does 230 fine on the autobahn according to my suppliers there.
Sisters TDI camry did 200kph and that car was like 20 years old.
The issue with Diesels is actually their core principal. No Spark.
Glow plugs do not like changes in revs. But i hear that alot of this has been solved now with 'developments in technology'.

Glow plugs operate at zero rpm. IE: before start-up. Dey is call compression ignition because the heat generated from such high compression is sufficient to ignite the diesel(flash pint approx. 60 deg C) and burn the energy outta oxygen.
Glow plugs heat the combustion chamber to facilitate initial ignition only.

The true core issue with compression ignition engines, as mentioned on an earlier post and as I see it is the sheer mass of the moving parts, made necessary by the stresses of operating such a high compression ratio and also the durability engineered into them - in the past anyway.

A fine, in fact the quintessential 'Hot Hatch' in MkI & MkII guise. Boat like in MkIII drag and a grown up compact as MkIV & V versions. No race car but a fine blend, especially when you own a bike to get yer kicks

Indeed, I like the GT-B because it's practical as well. A bit thirsty though
However, as far as kicks goes - a bit too round around the corners with the 4WD and all...

NICE! I'm surprised that it would have any issues regarding build quality - I thought BMW sorted that issue out in the early 90s. I guess they might have introduced it instead...

Yeah, the TDIs don't have any trouble keeping up with city traffic - that is for sure. Mate of mine used to have an A6 TDI - bloody quick, and very very silent. The diesel V10 that is in the Tuareg is quite a beasty engine as well

You know, I'd bet an 883 starter makes more torque than the 883 motor. And with that reasoning, you could just press the starter button for instant thrust ...

That's something that people without R1s have.

Right?



Edit: Actually, you might be surprised at how quickly Super Corsas in the rain teach one self-control.

Then again, you probably wouldn't be surprised.

I have a pair of Pilot Power 2CTs on order; they won't arrive soon enough.

Spooky shit..dude you must have ESP or LSD or summat!
