    Here's a little known factoid: Vifferman's mum (not an Orstrylyun) worked for Howard Florey and his mates at Oxford University.
    She's not famous (not outside of the clan, anyway), but she does have some weird prescient abilities, and is multilingual.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Only because of the fact that it had shit brakes and next to no handling. Get your facts straight before running your mouth.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Get yours straight.... could have all the rear brakes in the world.

    They were called the widowmaker because over a dozen testriders in japan were killed within the first week of release because they opened them up on the motorway and they hit powerband in 3rd and were off the back before they knew what happened....

    i have ridden a h2 750 kawasaki triple it was a fucking handful, and 70whp nsr 250's also... dosile in comparison, but still a powerband that can get you seriously hurt or killed if you hit it at the wrong time.

    powerbands are seriously dangerous...

    a 2.2 litre 2 stroke.... no thanks, wouldn't ride it if you paid me.

    no chance of that, you'd have to be able to ride a bike half decent to get paid for it!

    Australia have just invented a "Get out of recession free" card. Sure beats their non-productive, poor, inbreed cousin.

    Muppet, it's got fuck all to do with it being 2.2 or a two stroke it's all to do with porting, pipes ignition etc etc

    Must be why they use Two strokes in trials bikes because they need all that power up top

    Your comments show how little you really know about them

    And how about you point me in the direction of that "internet Article" because none of those I have read say any such thing
