Hi

One of each please

Anyway, the Tornado is not as good looking but the look is steadily growing on me. See how the Piega goes, but then there are probably going to be about 50 Tornados built for every Piega

All the best

The tornado has to be just about the ugliest bike designed - apart from the ducati multistrada!!

The piega uses the Honda Sp1 engine but with their own fuel injection - supposed to be better fuelling than the honda. Both bikes make the same power and torque, around about 140bhp and 70lbft I think.

But doesnt the bigger bore mean more torque??

Hi

No, longer stroke = more torque. Torque is the turning effect of a force, and the longer the stroke then the longer the lever the piston is acting on

All the best

[Phoenix]

I remember reading about the Cizeta when it was going around the car shows. It looks good (like a Diablo) from the front until you get passed the doors, then it looks like a Citroen!

Keith you have a Bandit 1200, you ain't telling me that before it blew up you didn't have that on the back wheel... even if you don't want it to, the front wheel pops up
