I felt the same disappointment with the 2 as you do with the 3. It's a real shame but it looks like they've done the same thing again. No money to spend so they've tweaked the existing bike to meet new regs and tried to convince everyone that it's new. Hill start, ffs! I'd have loved to see a short stroke big bore rev happy motor, something like a gen 1 63mm stroke with 86mm offset bores - 1464cc would have had me at their door. All fits within the existing frame and bodywork. So that's it then John, on with Project Swansong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
