Heard some talk in USA about plans to ban forced induction for street legal motorbikes. If they do that it will be a short lived excitement as that is the biggest market for them.
And why all of the sudden the marketing cretins started using PS as a unit of power? Is German language so dominant in the world? The correct SI unit of power is kilowatt - kW and the EU directive from 2010 permits use of the horsepower only as a suplementary unit because its definition varies between countries. I guess the 200 looks better than 149 in their broshures. Just a bit of rant
