But riding an aprilia, the feeling's extraordinary. And nothing else -- neither asian, american nor european -- feels makes you feel as special in the cockpit.

Alot of the Euro jock riding stems from the fact that they make sexy bikes (loud v-twins). Japo bikes are efficient, but generally don't make anyone horny.

Your bike is definitely makin 71bhp at the rear wheel... I can imagine its a fun fuckin bike to ride! :) My bike only makes 62hp at the rear wheel and and it is such a joy to ride... hopefully with the big 3 (exhaust,filter and pc), i can get it up to 70... :)

[cra83]

yeah, BMW like to fuck around with capacity... E.G BMW cars: the 330i is a 3 litre car and so is the 335i but the 335i is turbocharged (or something like that!) They called it the '650' because there's a more powerful model called the F800GS allready. I'm not sure where it makes the 71BHP but it feels at the wheel as i have rode bikes of similar power claims, at the crank, and mine feels quicker and more punchy. maybe it's because its only 3 months old though..

[turbonoshayabusa]

Wow...a 800cc bike that is called a F650GS. That's a first... :) Come to think of it, my bike makes 71hp @ the crank, not at the rear wheel. Im sure your's makes 71hp at the rear, am I right? :)
