Hi atics,
Last week I had a closer look on this huge piece of metal called
VTR1000 - engine and I wonder how the honda engineers will implant
this into a new @. This motor must be quite heavy! But what about the
HP? 100 Hp will eat up your enduro tyres if you open the throttle.
So I´m afraid the new @1000 will become more a kind of bike like the
Yamahe TDM (well let`s call the @1000 a "Super-TDM") and not a
serious offroad-bike.
Well, I wouldn´t be angry about such a bike, if Honda also offers a
light and nimble @750 with not more than 200 kg (with full tank), no
tyre limitations in Germany, better suspension etc. But that will
remain a dream....
Bye,
Marco
