Re: MT-01 a threat to neither aprilia nor buell...

Interesting that Yamaha has decided to add their own razor sharp chassis and tractor engine to its lineup.

Buell sales have steadily increased over the past few years. Yamaha will bring it here after they work out the bugs in Europe.



I agree with you on the latest CBGXRYZ1000. Air-cooled motorcycles really appeal to me. There's just an elegance in the execution that is lost in the maze of plumbing on a liquid bike.



When the Ducati GT1000 is available, I will likely be lining up for one.

Re: Razor Sharp my butt...

I didn't realize the weight difference was that much. Maybe it's Yamaha's version of a Confederate Hellcat.

I'm waiting for the Speed Triple to grace your driveway so we can have the Morons meet in the middle ride.



We're all ridin' up to Martin's place in Idaho.

Re: Razor Sharp my butt...

It's kinda like BMW quoting horsepower figures. How many ads have you seen quoting 130 hp for the K1200GT. It dynos at about 112.

BMW is quoting 167 in its current ad copy regarding the new K1200S.

It's like the old SAE gross hp numbers from the muscle cars of the 60s. Hp was taken at the crank with the alternator, water pump and everything else disconnected.

Hopefully KPaul will chime in here
