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
