If "it wouldn't change a thing", it seems really silly to artificially restrict it.

Man, this TV production is just so much higher in value than the current national series stuff. Just check out the start sequence (9:30): Gate drop. Then a great helicopter shot of the long straight cuts to an onboard directly behind the two battling ... more »

If nobody can provide you with one, I'd just send them the one for a Panasonic 18650 cell.

But your estimation is dead on in-line with my estimation! I said roughly 6-7 lbs after accounting for spring forks and the additional removable bodywork the Honda comes with, which would translate to about a 10 lb difference with those items bolted ... more »

Changing the rules on Harley's behalf to shut out imports dates well before that. Starting in the post-war era, rather than building competitive engines, Harley had pushed and succeeded to limit British (and other) OHV engines to 500cc in competition ... more »

There are no ill-handling 250s currently made.

In the 250s it kinda is.

Spin off ≠ sell Yamaha spun off it's motor division decades ago.

It will be utter chaos. Mass hysteria! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...
