There's No Replacement For Displacement
Got a friend who was kind enough to lend me his 883 to have a morning blast with him on the twisty backroads.
I am not a person who pushes for BIGGER IS BETTER idea, but I do see the point in having a bigger displacement in any bike. With a bigger displacement, even if the horsepower doesnt gain much because of that, the bigger torque is surely going to benefit the rider. It would be easier to ride around on a fixed gear with all that torque. Having to change gear often and open up big the throttle is one of the biggest contributors to biking fatigue.
Which brings up the question. I am kind of fond of SR400. A 400cc bike is no slouch even by today's standard. It has 3.0kgm of torque to push a total of 174kg of bike. But do i want to modify the engine for bigger cc? well maybe not, for I dont want to jeopardize the longetivity of the engine. Breaking in the middle of nowhere because of the mod engine is no joke.
Just a thought.
Oh by the way here is the link to the video I made for this trip.
