    Germans should build bikes!

    Just checked the latest VW Golf. The one with the TSI technology...


    TSI uses a supercharger for low revs and a turbocharger for high revs. VW says that despite the 1.4-litre capacity the combination of supercharger and turbocharger enables the TSI engine to produce 125kW (170bhp) of power at about 6500rpm, and 240Nm of torque between 1500 and 4750rpm, a similar output to the V5.

    BMW are in a class of their own. I Like those funky horizontal cylinders

    The Honda Africa Twin?
    The Honda Varadero?

    All are V twins. Not boxers.

    And don't have shaft drive. Or ABS (except the Varadero).

    Or badges with roundels.
