good point professor virt. I really don't know? moto gp bikes have the 2 sided arrangement I believe.Virt wrote:There's got to be something right with sssa.. the new KTM super Duke (or whatever, the 1290cc beast) has a sssa and that makes something like 180bhp and 105ft/lb torquelumpyv wrote:
whats the big deal with a sssa again?. I thought the most important thing about swingarms (along with lightness) is stiffness/strength .
is a single side as rigid as a braced one like jamies? ?

Re: still the best looking VTR out there
The only thing I don't like is the single sided exhaust. I do love the symmetry of one on each side which one of the things that drew me towards the Storm.

Wasn't me- I think that tiny LED's wouldn't affect airflow overmuch.agentpineapple wrote:iirc tony tried the indicator in the airscoop, and yes the bike wanted to overheat....![]()

If it doesn't cool well you're not going fast enough!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
