The local club went for a spirited 250 miles "twisted" ride today. During a break we met a new member with a gorgeous piece of machinery.

Some of you will recognize this and then tell us more - yes?


252,000 km/seventeen years - loving it

Enlighten me.

The majority of the pics of MHR's that I'm finding have solid gear covers, not gear gazers.

Can someone enlighten me with regards to the Bevels, Whenever I read anything on them, they seem to be a big people either love or hate, I have noticed some guys refer to to them in hushed, sombre tones.

Other people people you talk about them with want to punch you in the face, and then they seem to go and sit in the corner sucking their thumb and rocking backward and forward like some kind of mental patient*

* Although that could be just people dealing with me naturally, I seem to have that effect of people want to walk away in frustration and bang their head against a wall, something about it being less painful....

it's just what they used before belt drive for the cams

I (and others, I'm sure) happen to think they look cool, and mechanically, it kinda goes along w/the desmo vs. springs thing, y'know?

what do those little windows look like when the bike is running?  can you still see the gears or is there oil slinging all over the place?
