I want to get an 1198 now.

That's just awesome. More tests should be like that.

Great review, Kinda wish I had some extra cash laying around now. "extra cash"...like that'll happen  

[Rincewind]

That was very well written and captured.

"Pulls like a dormitory full of school boys"  WTF does that mean?  Can we get an English to American translation?

Good video

Verb. 1. To seduce a desirable person, to sexually attract someone. Also commonly heard in the male expression pull a bird meaning to attract a female. E.g."I pulled this gorgeous student at the Union bar."

Without doing a comparo to a Guzzi 8V, how can we know which is faster?

I was going to say the same thing about my Vespas.

Great video!! Love the Aussie humour.

On the translation of "Pulls like a dormitory full of school boys". In this case the pulling refers to the onanism rampant in the English Boarding school tradition.

"Mainly it says I was a giant petunia and I didn't give it enough berries."

Genius.

Nice try, but in this case he's talking about masturbation. Pulls like an entire dormatory of school boys. Pulling their pud. get it?


BTW the superbike win comparo sounds good but ducati's never won without a CC advantage have they?

That was off set by the cylinder count disadvantage.  If I remember correctly their competitors got to use 100% more cylinders per bike than Ducati...

More Cylinders with the same displacement = higher RPM = more HP
In AMA twins got to run 1000cc against 750cc in line four cylinder bikes to equal the HP and playing field.
When Honda felt the rules favored the twins, it built and raced the RC51 in AMA and WSB very successfully.
The racing world then equaled the displacement for twins and four cylinders at 1000cc.
Like stated earlier "More Cylinders with the same displacement = more HP"
So again Ducati, the only manufacturer besides HD to claim twins as part of their DNA increased the displacement again. They do have weight restrictions, and intake restrictors, so the HP is about the same as the four cylinder machines. The twins have certain advantages at some tracks, and the four cylinder machines at other tracks.

Someone needs to give the buffoons over at MCN, and motorcycleUSA a link to this video.
