and, you mentioned a belt, but i'm clearly looking at a chain the picture. what am i missing?
I realize the 883 ain't much, but I reamed the machine and it seriously just about blew up. Ah well, it was an HD.
Regarding the belt: The transmission is belt driven. The final drive is chain.
It wasn't an outpace, it was lightning bolt fast disappearing into infinity. The Mana is seriously fast, but probably only for the first few hundred yards. I am sure the CB1100 would work hard all the way up 180 km/h. A sport bike would win long no problem.
Not bad for a "scooter".
