Like Orose says its because they dont rev... Other fix would be to strap a Very large Supercharger on, then there is no need to rev as it will create 800bhp at 3500rpm

And to prove the point, MCN has a 180hp supercharged speed triple in the inside pages today...

Mind, that's a bike nothing like Richies Futura, so we'll stop the derail right there

I'm impressed Richie, when you said a twin i naturally thought of your maturity and experiance (read old git) and thought BMW. How wrong I was.

That dash looks like it should be part of some star wars fighter or something.

Probably the same set-up as mine in which case ive never bled it and it'll lock up the rear. (done 20000 miles since I got it).
