Can I go there....???
Would it be dramatically lighter without that silly Rev limiter? Thus making it all that much lighter?

:idea: Hey...how about a lean limiter. Bike falls over and is limited to 60 degrees of lean...nothing hits the ground and nothing gets damaged.

I like this idea!The ferret_imp said:
But would Honda have an issue with patents or anything since some of the victory bikes have something similar....

Seriously? How do they limit the fall other than crash bars? I was just joking.
My ST has a tip over switch which kills the motor in event of a fall. Is that what you mean?

here are some videos showing it! The first one the guy rights the bike seemingly quite easily, whereas the second one it looks like it took a little bit to get it back upright... if you can say it wasn't almost upright when down...?The ferret_imp said:

Oh ok. The ST has front tip over bars...and you can get rear tip over bars aftermarket.

That would work as a lean limiter wouldn't it?

I'm thinking that too. I've leaned a bike over in the corner farther than that.

For years I've been saying motorcycling's "next big thing" will be gyroscopes that hold the bike at the correct angle for whatever the riding situation happens to be at that point in time.The ferret_imp said:

yes - the CB1100 is about the same size as the VFR in width but it looks smaller.Lunatic Fringe_imp said:

Yep. I've seen photos from the early 1900s of a gyrocar that had seats for 6 in 3 rows of 2. The thing was huge! It had outriggers that came out when it parked, but under way two big gyros kept it upright.Rboe_imp said:

New to the forum
It's all relative to what you are used to riding. I have a BMW 2012 1600GTL and this CB feels light as a feather compared to the GTL.

Take one of those new Indians for a ride. That will make your CB feel dang small and light. I got on the Griso afterwards and felt I was a pit bike.

I bought it because it feels so light. Used to ride a CB 1300 before.
