Re: Why?
The explanation tells you why, somebody had a rolling chassis so had the bright idea of dropping the tl lump in it. Better chassis than the tl in the first place.

Re: Why?
Why the hell not?
TL1000R is a brilliant engine which can be mental. The duc engines are horrible to work on and break a lot.

Re: Why?
The entire process is justified by the following scenario:
You ride up on your beautiful 916, pull the clutch in, and no one thinks you've got a set of spanners loose in the crank cases Jambo

Re: Why?
Or you can get it wet but it'll cost you
