Checkmate!! unless gary's engine was still using points

Dave the starting price of 35,000 is aus dollars the article with the harley pic is out of an australian motorcycle magazine.With harleys adventure off road bike joining and competing with the the established jap and european market leaders it's going to be a tough ask for them.All the competition like ktm,bmw,suzuki,ducati etc have about 150hp that they try and make contollable for the average off road pilot with six axis ecu for traction control/cornering abs/electronic suspension,engine mapping modes for rain (softer power delivery) street,sport,race you name it all adjustable on the fly via the left and right switch blocks.That's the reason i said they are heavy because they have long travel suspension for ground clearance off road and all that weight is carried far higher up between the axles,in effect they are very top heavy.Not to worry most of them stick to the tar because these bike are very expensive to drop and nobody wants to get them all dusty here.Did i mention that the 500 dollar set of wide block off road tyres don't last very long if you like to rip 150hp through that small contact patch at the rear?

ps good luck with the money.
