excuse me. not faults. "Character"

 

that pommy mag

classic bike or classic mechanic or somerthing

has a review of 888 norton, looks all very cool except for handlecars ,
bleech...gimmmie clipons

 

Interesting. Note the drive on the right. I thought all that stuff was
standardised (i.e. the factories do what the septics said).

Controls were standardized because of the Yank rules (not that
that's a bad thing!) but chains and shafts appear on either
side, depending. Most of the recent Japanese stuff seems to
go with chain-on-the-left, maybe just to keep the
chain out of the rain. Shafties seem to have the shaft on
either side about equally.

If that Xavier bloke's still here, maybe he can answer that...

 

Ask Xoli!

is a six-fingered man! (at least we're well supplied with
giants))

Oh, you mean the Spagthorpe Elkhound 952? Probably just a
coincidence.

Not too bad.

What, you mean the W650 ....?

You keep using that word - I don't think it means what you think
it means...

Naah.. The W650 lacked "character"

The splines are fine, the whine's designed.

Wouldn't be hard to imagine with updated wheels, frame, HID lights etc...

It's like me. Too bland, too fat. Doesn't have the lean look of its youth.
