Whoops....

Dos, explain the R1 to me....I take it (guess?) that it has a better torque curve than the current model....

cause don't the numbers (as far as maximum) look really similar, like 2bhp more, weighs 2 kg more has 3 nm of torque as well...so it looks like the maximum numbers haven't changed much....




I thought the conversation went like this:

Dos: hey, that cloud looks like a d!ck
Wife of Dos: (giggle) it sure does, let's take a picture

...hopes out of car, giggles, takes snapshot....

Dos: hey, wife, how about you experience a little cumulonimbus for yourself?
Wife of Dos: after taking a picture of a 20km long phallus do you really think you have ANYTHING that's going to impress me?

Luckily we weren't at the Grand Canyon then eh. No I didn't put my foot in it - but I reckon I could have 

As for the R1 having a big bang engine, it's not about maximum power or torque or curves, it's like the 4th dimension of power.... delivery.
Have a go at this for some light reading Spider http://www.motorcycledaily.com/08april05_bigbang.htm

yeah, I previously read (on hellforleather.com perhaps) an explanation of 'big bang' but when they described the firing order, well, they forgot to mention the 4th cylinder - so at that point I turned off!

anyway, cheers, sounds the business.....I can completely understand the need for teenage men to be able to buy a 170bhp bike for $16,000 without any extra training required....but the government hands out speeding fines and claims it's doing it for road safety!

I met a bloke on the weekend who just bought this year's R1. He rides it in denim jeans, ankle boots and $100 gloves. I won't attend the funeral (don't think I'm invited after what I said to him!)

Hey Ita, since we threadjacked your thread....and you got the bike back....why not post up a picture of the beautiful girl!

Here ya go.....

She has a different but similar clutch cover now and oggy knobs, but essentially the same...
