[ODAMO]

So now that the Africa Twin is now 1100cc, Anyone thinkin there might be a Pioneer 1100 or Talon 1100 comin down the pike?
I think the current thinking over at Honda is becoming much more ''less conservative''. LoL.

Ain't gonna happen. Gubberment has the max cc for this class of machines set at 999 cc. That's why some manufacturers equip a 999 cc engine with a turbo.

Crazy rules... a bike with 49 cc or less requires no license or helmet. Theoretically, one could build up a 49 cc 4 stroke weed-whacker engine with a YUUGE turbo and make a 250 cc bike crap itself. If they want to limit power/speed, they should limit HP, not cc. SMH.

Thank the Clintons for that one.

Really? Woooow...Didn't know that one. Thanks. As a side note, remember when push lawnmower engines were sold only as HP ratings? Now it's cc with maybe a mention of HP.
