Optimistic sellers

I trust y'all will forgive me but in the circumstances this is not entirely inappropriate? I see it's called a "high torque" engine, that has to be more appealing than a low horsepower engine.

it's probably got fuck all hp so they have to 'talk' up something about it to try to make it sound less crap.

It's why you never see hp figures for hardlys. A big figure means nothing if it doesn't rev worth a damn. An R6 produces more torque are the rear wheel than enormous plodders. What it doesn't have is much power at low rpm and that can feel pronounced with such an enormous revi range.

There you go. Est 53hp. About the same as a 1340 evo last century.

Or an R100 of the 70s/80s to show a point of lack of progress.

My first initial thought was "So? What about it?" but then I check the year.

Hmmmm.... Yeah but it's not THAT bad..

By in comparison to its true value it is. Bit like listing a 10k bike for 18k.

Dreamin, can get a Piagio Zip brand new for not a lot more

Wow! 60hp is a damn healthy one. 55 is about the norm.

Oh gummon! You know there are three ratings, at the crank, at the wheel and at the pub!

You need to get yourself a ride on a 120cu HD mate. Yes I know they're 2L in size...but fuck me they're unreal.

Potential CASH buyer "Hey, can I come have a look over the weekend? Mark "

Seller "Hi, not into showing it. If you want it use the buy now button. I am happy to keep the bike if it does not sell."

Someone doesn't want to sell their bike.
