Depends, Not in sight out the front................or not in sight in the rear view mirrors. As he goes on to talk about turboed V-Rod's I took it as not in sight behind.
Yes ambiguously worded.. I would have thought the feet forward philosophy of the HD would translate to the rest of the bike design and not intended to handle like a Duke except for perhaps in straight line performance if modded to 200hp as noted..
Sorry guys what I meant was the duck would be out of sight in front. The turbo was on a Diavel, not a VRod,
Ok was in the area so checked out the latest Dukes.. including closeup in person to see the swinging pillion peg setup on the Diavel. Wouldn't mind one along with Monster and Panigale to cover all riding moods.. not a "gunna" for now though.. just sayin'. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
RSV 225 bhp, 165kg 10 only, maybe one will come to Australia, you get a racing factory tour and visit thrown in, "for track only", ultimate track toy, maybe not a bad investment either. Not really that expensive or complicated, Euro$40k https://www.aprilia.com/en_EN/news/2019/rsv4-X/
"It is the first bike in the world to mount a gearbox with neutral below first gear" Not quite, neutral below first was common for British bikes since the 50's, particularly for marques like Norton with a strong racing background.
