Yep. AI image. Rotors, spokes, and caliper all seem to go through each other

It goes to my category of silly bikes - glad to see those around, no desire to own one by myself.

(Ignor the few seconds of Finnish language in the beginning...this is kind of an unofficial commercial by a local Triumph dealer)

I have a question.

If a 1997 BMW R1100RT has 91 Horse Power, how does a 2020 R18 have just 89.84 Horse Power ?

I also have a confession and that's that I really like the R18. It's horrible to ride, totally misguided and way over priced but I have to admire BMW for actually making it.

As a chassis to hang fairings, top cases and panniers on I think it's ideal but for a stand alone bike it's terrible.

You already know. Part of it by design, part of it Greta's fault.

My 2017 900cc Bonneville makes less power than my 2009 865cc Bonneville.

A 2016 1250cc V-Rod only makes about the same power as my 2006 1130cc V-Rod did.

Part of why removing the environmental stuff and stage 1 kits are popular mods on both those models.

I'm wondering if there's an algorithm out there that gets triggered in the Design Studio when a twin cylinder engine with a huge and unnecessary displacement attempts to get shoe horned into a motorcycle chassis and it activates an alarm.

Make it anyway they said. It'll be fine.
