Actually they are worse for the track, they are a pain in the ass to take off.

thats what i was thinking... where as a regular mirron you can just unbolt and cap off, you have to deal with wires and shit there.

oh... I thought they did it because it was one thing to take off instead of two...

well i've never taken em off. i suppose if the connectors were right there (by the bolts) it would be fairly simple. but, while all i've ridden is honda, they are not always known for simplicity.

i still love the 675, and hutch kinda sucks eh?

Mr Lefty · 05-21-2008, 03:18 AM

yeah I think hutch is supposed to be the "every day rider" times...

The CBR needs a slipper and the torque numbers are less than impressive. The 848 has some nice torque but there has to be a way to smooth out the valley from 5-6k RPM.

The Duc is $4-4.5k more than the rest...humm...

The Triumph price-wise looks like a great deal.

The Gsxr surprised me.

on the 1125 there is a quick connect for the turn signals up on the dash area.
should be pretty simple to remove.

Some impressive torque/HP numbers from the Triumph. Lacking a few revs, or it would beat all the fours. Don't know why it's lap times are so slow though. And the Kawi's positively suck- WTF?!

What do they expect from the 848? It has a ton more displacement than the others.
