unless the 12 is not received well, then its 'original and best'! Im really interested to get reviews on the even more over, over square block.
I suspect a non ABS bike would be noticeably cheaper than one with ABS. The system is so good why would you not want it? Dealers will be wanting to shift 1199s as i suspect they will be getting quite a few in to sell when the 1299 is out.
get on with you! oh, wait a minute, I agree, or did a few years ago. modern bikes with 'loadsa power' need aids, even marquez needs aids. you think he could ride the bottom of 250bhp bikes without them? but, i think, if i could have a 1199 without all the aids, i would like that. enter the 899 !!! old stuff is cool without aids, bikes and cars. you were in control, but, with aids, you have protection, a buffer, and, old stuff had half the power, with skinny tyres, i love both, with or without having aids.
Old stuff had half the power and skinny tyres? In 1984 my Z1 had approx. 180bhp and a 130 Rear :Happy:
Nope :Happy: it was scary back then - would be scary now too, more so in fact, not young and stupid anymore (just stupid) :Bag:
110 front, 120 or 130 rear - have fun with that, mind you the power delivery will be a bit more linear than my old Z :smile:
lol, yeah, I will take em off the 125 , the power delivery is quite linear, but not twin like at all. More 500 two stroke :Woot:
