      And what have rhetorical questions to do with language? It has to do with culture, and I can tell you, your English is so clear, nothing is lost in translation. Sure, my English is limited. Just don't forget one thing, I hate people using abstract and complicated language without good reason. Keep it simple, translate all those Latin words to English, make it easier to understand your point. There are exceptions, using one professional's word could be shorter. Some people misunderstand my wish for clarity, they tell me I'm stupid. Usually they are the ones being not so smart.
      So, yeah, being an old Dutch man has its disadvantages. But I can tell you, there are Dutch men having less talent for language. Happily there is also a Dutch man lecturer at Princeton, guys like him have far more practice talking American than your humble servant,

    But I'd take it over most of them.
    These gear driven cam motors are famous for going over 100,ooo miles with no maintenance.
    It loops 1st gear if you hold is open, stands straight up if you clutch it at 60mph and corners way better than either of the 900's I've owned.
    All while being comfortable and sounding like a quiet MotoGP bike.

      Yes, a 20 year old liter bike that was known in its day as the "widowmaker" due to its unpredictable handling and instability at high speeds, a great recommendation especially for someone watching this looking for their first big bike, what could go wrong lol

    • @kasper79
      @kasper79 4 года назад +4

      @@BigUriel I think you should read up on the bike. The widowmaker was the tl1000s which used a rotary damper not on the TL1000R. The tl1000s also has a different frame then the tl1000r. The unpredictable of the TL1000S came from its rotary damper and the rear shock. When you cook the rear shock and the rear wheel won’t have much traction, which can easily put you on your ass when you overpower the tire with the abundant torque of the V-twin. You can do this on most liter bikes. If you're getting into a liter bike and don't understand the amount of torque you have on your hands, then maybe stick to a 600cc or lower.

    Just seems like yesterday that I was drooling at these bikes, but I didn't have the money. Now they are considered dated? I still love the rounded look of the older bikes. I'm retro and the styling and performance of the GSX R1000 is more than enough bike for the fastest of the so called modern day squid riders. Even today I would contest that the old liter bikes are way too much power for the streets. They really were designed to be track weapons. I first learned how to ride on a 75 Honda CB 350 back in 79. I then bought a Honda Hawk 450T new in 82 and rode that bike for over 10 years without one problem. I had a lot of fun and good memories on this motorcycle. Was it under powered? Yeah. Was it too small for my 6' 2" frame? Okay. Was it difficult to hang with a GPz 550 Kawasaki in the long straights? Indeed. Could I work on it and keep it tuned with standard household tools? Yes! Did it have outstanding gas mileage? Yep-54 city/62 Hwy. Did I really need a Honda 750 Interceptor? No. Did I want one? Yes. You get the idea by now right? Cheers fellow motorcyclists...keep the rubber on the road!
