You could put a lot of slack in the throttle cable....so you would only get about 30% of the power. Or you could tighten the clutch cable so that the clutch slips badly if you apply too much throttle. ;D |

Title: Re: BMW R NINE T Post by Dave on 05/15/14 at 09:29:52 On Tuesday a fellow left his bike in our parking lot...his battery was dead and he needed to go get it charged. The bike sat here all day taunting me........it was a Triumph Triple Speed. That night when he came back to pick it up I chatted with him a bit. He uses up 4 sets of tires a year on it! I couldn't afford the tire payments! |

Title: Re: BMW R NINE T Post by WD on 05/16/14 at 00:05:11 Too bad the R9T is actually made by Kymco... It could have had potential. |

In the big name motorcycle world? Not really. They all swap parts/tech and sub-assembly manufacturing back and forth. Or farm them out to the auto industries in Japan, China, Korea, India and Taiwan. It's a world market economy unfortunately, and production costs are much lower in Asia than in North America and/or western Europe. You do have a few stalwart "homebuilt" brands in Italy and eastern Europe, but even they use a lot of Keihin, Mikuni and Showa sourced parts. |
