That seat looks low enough for this inseam challenged rider. I must annoy my local Triumph/BMW dealer.

It boggles up my mind how They do this, really makes me crazy trying to figure it out. Makes for a real smooth ride and I understand puts out more tourque with less HP.

Are you saying that the Bonnie line actually is performing like a 900cc Single? I know guys used to joke about doing that with the old CM400T. The engine already used a "wasted spark" design, so both cylinders would ignite their sparkplugs at the same time, but one cylinder would be on an exhaust stroke, and the other on an compression stroke...All you'd have needed was a custom grind cam, but no one ever knew if you'd really see a power increase from the modification, or if things would just fall apart.

Most likely the tranny would sheer something with the doubled torque pulse.
