Do V-twins have attitude and are inlines boring?

The ACC have enough spare money to hire spies? That's news.

They've got plenty of cash, don't be fooled.

[onearmedbandit]

I would suggest that both are.

Yes, but you have a particular bee in your bonnet with sportsbikes. But it's amusing to read your rants.

"Lunatic power"......geez, more fodder for the ACC spies.

You don't have to USE that lunatic power y'know...well, not all of it anyway...

Actually, it's less about the bikes and more about the tossers that (tend to) ride them.

I really enjoy watching superbike racing, it's all about cutting edge motorcycles, always got time for it. What I do is try to balance the scales, you know, making up for all the HD jibes on here.

...and not always......mate, you should write Tui ad's, you'd make a bundle.

No rider's experiences of motorcycling would be complete without riding a sportsbike at some time or other. Same goes for other styles. I've ridden all sorts of stuff over the million years I have been into it. The current gixxer is the first true sportsbike. I am delighted to experience one before I am too old and fucked to enjoy it...

(Saving the Harley experience for my dotage, by the way...)

Now that much is very true. Can't blame the tool, just the tool riding it.

'fairy nuff. I must say, I kinda of enjoyed taking my brothers tricked up 1340 a number of years back. He reckoned it would have my GSXR750's number in a straight line race to 130mph, so of course I couldn't refuse the chance. Got a letter from him the other day, said he should be home in time for christmas next year.

I am very constrained in my use of the lunatic power I've only hit the rev limiter once and that was in third...

[onearmedbandit]

To answer your rep peasea, yes it was. Not saying it was a good one lol.

When we used to build Triumph twin engines to run hard they would show a clean set of heels to many a jap four, the thing was....they didn't last. It's just the prehistoric engineering; you can make anything go fast (ask a sidevalve V8 racer) but you're flogging a dead horse. I'd never make any claim to fame on my chubby lollipop other than in the style stakes. It's reliable because it's unstressed and it'll last for years because of that. Also, even though they may be over-priced when new, you get a bunch more back when you sell.

I just like engines that go 'chug'.

Yeah, I chuckled, all good.

Perhaps. I did think about painting it tartan and calling it Rupert.
If gas prices continue their upward spiral steam might not be such a bad option; then who'd be laughing?
