Thanks for the kind words, bikerbillone, altho I don't really know about the 'guru' bit, but do I try to share whatever I might know &/or have learnt, and if any of it helps others, so much the better! :thumbup:
As for the 1330 being 'the machine with performance', that might be the case if you're talking 'standard' V-Twins vs Triples, but for what it's worth, in my opinion (& my better half's opinion) the Triple motor, for all its torque, especially that low down torque, is a lazy motor that's
nowhere near as exciting a motor as the V-Twin can be, even if you do rev it right out & stir it along! Besides, my V-Twin Spyder isn't 'standard' anymore, not by a
real looooong shot!
hyea: It's had a 'Magic Wand' waved over it by one of the best in the game, (Jason at ECU Xtreme on the Gold Coast, Aust -
[email protected] ) and it's no longer
just a more exciting and responsive Spyder to ryde than ANY Triple Spyder I've met, even most modified Triples, it's an
absobloodylutely freakin FANTASTIC Spyder to ryde! :trike: And it's just a bit lighter to start out with too, so not only do I now get a better cruising range than most other V-Twins & many Triples, the lighter weight makes for crisper handling, better braking, and even more get up & see all you ryders on your lazy Triples when you
eventually get there!! :yes:

But then, I am a bit biased, and so far, despite racking up a fair few miles on various newer RT's & F3's, the 1330 motors just haven't been 'better enough' to prompt me & the Missus to make the change.... altho maybe once we can get some proper saddle time on a 2020, plus if the bugs are properly ironed out of that dodgy BRP Connect/new Digital Dash, & we have a serious talk to Jase about what he can do for us on one of them...
Who knows, I guess only time will tell! :2thumbs:
However, getting back to the
real topic of this thread - Motorcycle Dave, have you got a local winner yet, or is it just us o/seas & off-topic posters keeping the place awake? Too early yet maybe? :dontknow:
