Wow, I just sneaked a peak at the Yamaha GTS1000 on wiki.  Single sided FRONT?  Very cool.  Ahead of it's time I guess.
it is a RADD single sided swingarm front, with leading link characteristics. Which means when you jump on the brake the front end wants to rise rather than plunge, which accounts for the superior stopping power.

Too expensive, hence the poor sales.

Just curious, what part of hub steering makes them expensive? Is it the economy of scale, that's the problem?

Guess I don't really know, Customer resistance to change makes them expensive in a back door way. IOW, it wouldn't be too expensive if people would buy it.

That'd be Keira Knightly pretending for a Chanel commercial - or so I've read  ;)





It seems that's a 1974 Ducati 750 Sport


Who knew lagerfeld and Chanel had such good taste in bikes?

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

TZ with a RD wiring harness to make it street legal. Where did you find that pic? It was taken on Vashon Island during the VME event there a couple of weeks ago. I was there and would like to see more pics.
