Subject: Driving with 60hp


Hi,

long awaited I am now on the road with 60 real @ horsepowers ...
It really makes a lot more of fun, although in the lower revs preferred by
me you feel nearly no changes. But acceleration above 80km/h while
overtaking or with heavy load is really cool ! Additionally I had to
learn to put both hands on the steering when giving full power in the
first gear :-))))

But one point made me cruely angry: For the power reduction parts I paid
260,-- DM at the Honda dealer (without installation !). I did the removal
myselves, so I started disassembling the bike ... Some minutes later I
found those magic two metal parts between carburettor and cylinder. I
removed them but couldn"t believe, that this should be the whole job.
260,-- DM for two parts with a production value of perhaps 10,-- DM !
But driving performance showed me, that I have found the "correct" parts.
It is really a shame to sell those parts with a gain of 2500% !!!!!!
Imagine that ... No ordinary company could sell parts in this manner and
would ruin itselves pretty soon !
