BMWs look like 'proper' motorbikes, whilst a lot of the jap bikes look like summat off a kids cartoon strip, with odd angles and bits of plastic flying off in every direction.Quote:My remote adjuster is mounted off the pillion footpeg. It's got to be somewhere accessible for ease of use, otherwise there's no point in having it.Or one could just purchase a new BMW with Dynamic ESA. My active suspension is constantly monitoring road conditions and tweaking the damping to suit. It also monitors weight and automatically adjusts pre-load to suit – so no remote adjuster to faff about with, or spoil the lines of the bike. BMW – what what!![]()
Anyway, I wouldn’t get too excited about that mock up. It’s rough and ready, probably knocked up by a desperate bike journo needing a story during lockdown, and even if it did originate from Yamaha, it’ll just be put out to gauge reaction.
What is more interesting is Yamaha’s talk of turbo chargers.
I mean look what turbos have done for cars
