I like retro styling generally and these bikes look good to my eyes but I don't understand how you can start with a clean sheet of paper and produce a modern OHC 650cc engine that only produces 47 hp and 38 ft/lb of torque and then make a bike that weighs 200 kg. Maybe it's a durability/longevity concept with the home (Indian) market in mind? |
Triumph sell their T100 Bonneville and street cup 900cc twins with only 54 ponies. They weigh in at around 220KG
