Wowza. 1.7 is a lump an' 'alf. Is that a propshaft drive? Don't they sap about 30% in transmission losses?

I've never ridden a motorcycle. Too scared I'd kill myself in seconds.

Me neither, though I was really hankering after one about 15 years ago, so I got this, which still gives me the thrills that I need instead.

if the shaft drive takes away power it must be 1%
that bike is the devil in disguise
ive rode big bikes for years
that is stupidly stupid of all bikes
test ride one if you can find one
make a will first

Amazing bit of kit I imagine. Are you typing this from beyond the grave Roberto?
