What he actually said was he thinks you should get a Vespa because everyone misses Mawsley.

I wonder when the owner will realise?

Is that your uncle? It’s all becoming clear now.

I’m your welcoming committee, your concierge, here to help and encourage you all.

And a pudding basin?

Jesus made you look like @Six30? I don’t think that’s in the bible.

In the continuing theme of the new me, I hope you all have a wonderful day today.

This thread isn’t complete without Pete’s dream bike.

You are completely ignorant of truth, you are @zzzak’s best mate now.

Unlike you I have a bike, you just have a garage ornament.

And it still won’t get ridden.

Apple didn't fall far from that tree.

Plus you wanted to be the first person in line for the fish and chip van.

Does he ride it?

You love adding stuff to your bike, just admit it.

5252 rpm is where the torque and horsepower curves cross on petrol engines. Between there and 6000 rpm the torque will start to drop away. Saul is correct about avoiding lugging the motor but between 4000 and 6000 rpm is the sweet spot.

No, above 5250 rpm torque is dropping and you are relying on horsepower alone which is fine if the motor isn't under a lot of load. Also at some point you will surpass peak horsepower. The engine is highly inefficient at high rpm as soon as it is under load it's all over.

Nope.

The Chines are coming.

I wonder what the price point will be?
