Why would you want to dyno a bike Dyno a bike that's probably the fastest model on the road......which never goes anywhere. And on the rare occasions you do use it you're getting 65mpg.......so you're obviously not using the power you've already got. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like I can't use much of the power I've got Pete, but I wouldn't expect you to understand having never had a bike with much power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, 50 years ago the Z1 was the most powerful bike on the road, but by today's standards it's obviously not. So out of the 66 bikes I've owned which do you think could be considered the most powerful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier you've got to analyse the bikes within the context of their era. Out of all the bikes I've had I'd say the Bandit 12 generated the most power in terms of grunt, but quickest would probably have been the Thundercat. But in their era 25 years ago they weren't anywhere near the real performance bikes. So in terms of quickest I've had within a specific era compared to others at the time I'd probably say my GS750 in 1978. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Very pretty view, I love the twin tanks even though they might be tiresome in real life use. With this paint scheme this is the prettiest trail bike today in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed it a while ago before the UK trip, it’s got 2 more plates than stock and after inspection it’s clearly better made with a lot less localized pressure points. I am having an issue with the clutch never being 100% actuated, always some kind of drag that makes clunky shifts and unpleasant low speed shifting. We took it off to check the gearbox for some play in the primary shaft, all is ok and fine, assembled it with love and let’s see how it is when I go. Will leave the shop and ride 300km to Sofia. Also am putting less gay tires back on. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
