Why Not Technology Thread.

  1. Hand on heart, the only thing worse than a Ducati rear brake is an MV Agusta one, my F3, I used to blead it every other wash, so about every few hundred miles, and the brake would only last for about an hour, then by the time I bled it, generally it wouldn't even be able to hold the bike on a slight incline.
     
  2. Well, the brake on my F4 is better than the 916's .... Apples, Pears
     
  3. Hondamatic it was called.

  5. All of this technology (except perhaps belt drive)will add weight and complexity for what end? I ride a bike for the feeling and attachment. Auto and air suspension will detract from that. Quite happy to have stuff like that in a car though, but that leads to a Fiesta weighing about 1300kg when it used to weigh around 800kg. Admittedly a bit of that is crash protection.
    As for a belt, chains I use do 10s of thousands of miles with no adjustment between tyre changes and the occasional spray with lubricant. Why change it if it isn't broken?
     
  6. Plus ,belts look a bit pants , Harleys have belts but a Panigale ?
