they also have an updated vstrom 1000 coming soon, i might have a look if its got sizable power increase over the 650, heres a picture of one that they've photo-shopped onto a snow covered mountain scene to promote the "discover adventure around every corner" theme
pffft, as if riding on Perth roads isnt enough of an adventure...
I cant help it if your perceptions don't match my reality

Originally posted by Roger Explosion View PostOh yeah, I get that, its just the emissions regs and economy needs are what driving the downsizing trend. The turbo's just seem to be a necessity to make the smaller engines usable in bigger, heavier cars. I would think a smaller, turbo bike engine would be a good fit for some of the bigger touring bikes out there.
2.0L twin turbo, driving one of the bigger utilities available.
