Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[VNA]

That gets my goat too, incorrect use of a saying.


"The proof of the pudding is in the eating" is the correct saying  :pokefun.

I apologise.  But trust me, wack the throttle open, release that torque and hang on.  It’s an impressive engine.  I’ll quote MCN,

At gentle throttle openings and below 5000rpm the boxer engine sits on its mild, low-lift cams and delivers flawless grunt from as low as 2000rpm. Ask for more power and the camshafts obey by snapping across the top of the engine, in just five milliseconds, delivering the kind of hairy cam acceleration that makes the roadster think it’s a mono-wheeling S1000R.

It has the seamless thrust of a blueprinted race engine and a growling, rhythmic chocolatey exhaust growl to match. Throttle pick-up is flawless, even at town speeds and there’s enough oomph from the motor to stick it top gear and leave it there all day. Or, you can slice through the gears and visit the motor’s dark and angry side.
