Gotta agree with Keith here, Matt. And while I understand your concerns about engine cooling(in places other than CA, where they've been enlightened to the positive aspects of lane-splitting for YEARS now, but please don't get me started on all THAT here again ), there is just NO way to make a liquid-cooled motorcycle engine look as good as an air-cooled one, period!
(...at least I'VE never seen one...have YOU???)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
