At least you'd be able to afford "security" to beat them off with a stick!   :spank

Yet another YouTube video...https://youtu.be/qA6hqEAvMPo?si=r7Sixy3fpocVyhch

I was interested in the power & torque figures quoted but did wonder about their accuracy when the guy said the SOUO was a 2000cc inline 4!  :rofl

GWM SOUO            *216.9nm @4500rpm   180hp
                               vs
HONDA GOLDWING *169.4nm @5500rpm   125hp

* I converted the figures from ft lb to nm as the figures quoted meant nothing to me...  :grin

Well it is, if you look at just one side of the bike.  Maybe he didn't realise there's another bank of cylinders on the other side...

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.
