The engine is interesting if they kept it small and light enough. Are the people that design the appearance of new motorcycles on crank or what?

As I noted elsewhere, it has too many cylinders. However, I will say that Kawasaki must be beaming mind control beams around. Just the other day, I was thinking to myself, "a V-twin like the V-strom is just too complicated for a 650cc bike, why can't someone create a parallel twin like the old Triumphs or the old Japanese twins?" A water-cooled 650cc parallel twin isn't going to be much wider than a V-twin in today's age of water cooling if properly designed, and should be lighter since it shares the camshafts and etc... but it still has too many cylinders for a bike like the KLR that is proud to be as simple as is possible to be while still being a motorcycle. It'd make an awesome V-strom competitor though.> mark217 wrote: > The engine is interesting if they kept it small and light enough.
A KLR rider is in no position to criticize the appearance of other motorcycles (heh!). -E> Are the people that design the appearance of new motorcycles on crank or > what?
