Only a small pic in that AMCN but I think they made a poster out of it in a
later issue.
Pic is by "Gold & Goose" so you should try their website.

 

don't forget the shafties lift up when you back off... yea hah!

 

No they don't, if they lift, it's when you accelerate. Unusual feeling the
back lifting when you take off, but you adapt.

I have never noticed it, well not since the R75/5.

Boxer

 

Not since my XJ750 in this case, but even the paralevers dont lift when you
back off.

Al

 

The XLV did that a bit, but it was only really noticeable if you
were taking off against the front brake ... eg: steep hill starts
(or burnouts, I suppose, but it wasn't much good at them ... the
front wheel just slid along ...)

The GS doesn't seem to do it at all, thanks to the paralever I
presume.

Neither of them seem to 'squat' under power though.

My K75 might....

 

Well... it isn't! [1]

[1] 2nd in line behind Clem to admit being wrong on the internet...

 

The problem isn't just power Clem... it's Power to Weight ratio! [1]

[1] Maybe you can ask JL to try it

 

OOOH yeah !! Have never ridden a K series of any sort, I'm in !

JL
(does it wheelie Clem ? if not, can I try ?

 

Even if he lets you ride the bike, I bet he won't let you
take gNatalie along to encourage you !

<pout>

JL

 

Too tall for you anyway, John.

Al

 

They're all the same size lying down Al !

JL

 

We're obviously talking about bikes here.

Errm [confused face] that was RIGHT; it DOESN'T "couter"steer.

Get back over to the never-wrong side of the ng Geoff!

 

Yah... but I was wrong earlier... [1]


G-S

[1] Although I may be wrong about that...

 

Oooo.... JL is a marked man now!
