I really hope that's a done deal, moto 2 needs an engine that sounds good, something the cbr600 based bikes never did.

I dont care who supplies engines, and wish it was an open competition, but whoever supplies them, i hope the reliability of the Honda engine is seen with Triumph. I have my doubts.

We had a whole Wolseley when i was a kid, though you wouldn't have known it. There was a valley near our house, so the road went down then up the other side. Dad use to have to back the traffic up to the annoyance of everyone behind us until the road was clear in front, then gun it at the top of the decline. We would fly down the hill and momentum would take us part of the way and then the engine would have to pitch in. If he timed it right we would just limp over the top. A couple of times we didn't make it. I vaguely remember we had to pull over to the side of the road and roll back down to the bottom. Memory repression kicks in from that point, probably with good reason. |
