You are so right. It's utterly horrible. It looks like it belongs in the Toys section of the Argos catalogue. And what happened to the front mudguard?

"(1550cc) MOTOR PUTTING OUT 105BHP" Just how fucking inefficient are yank twins. How does a 1098 achieve 165HP with a 550cc deficit?
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Dave Emerson Well, duh! By the simple expedient of never riding the fucking thing. SOP for a "chopper" owner.

"inefficient |ˌiniˈfi sh ənt| adjective not achieving maximum productivity; wasting or failing to make the best use of time or resources : an old, inefficient factory | the government was both inefficient and corrupt. DERIVATIVES inefficiency |ˈˈɪnəˈfɪʃənsi| |ˈˈɪniˈfɪʃənsi| noun inefficiently |ˈˈɪnəˈfɪʃəntli| |ˈˈɪniˈfɪʃəntli| adverb" erm - I think the context is right? I used the term as I feel that a 1.5 litre twin putting out 100 or so horses is "not achieving maximum productivity"
My ex's new husband has a big engined Harley[1]. We were having a chat about general biking things the other day and he mentioned that when pushed to 100mph on a motorway the fuel consumption plummets to about 20mpg. At 100mph on a litre sports bike you'll be doing far better than that. [1] I haven't a clue which one, they all look the same to me
The efficiency of a machine (an engine) is defined as the ratio of work out to work in. Or, in simple terms, the power the engine produces for a certain amount of fuel. Just because the bigger twin makes less power, doesn't necessarily make it any less efficient. Of course, it could use just as much fuel but sap a lot of power - without fuel consumption to complement the power figures you can't tell.
But a Harley is going to be significantly less aerodynamically efficient than a sports bike. If you just want to compare the efficiency of the engines, ignoring other contributory factors, you'd to compare fuel consumption figures at a simulated 100mph on a dyno.
Rubbish. I can just see it parked up outside a wine bar in Cheltenham. Tassled leather jacket and a bandana.
"Exile Style" meaning "a bit like but not quite" ... http://www.exilecycles.com/index.php?section=1 mind you, I do like the trike for pure sillyness: http://www.exilecycles.com/index.php?section=25 Well, it's not like anyone is actually going to ride it anywhere, so does it really matter?
