Khatt makes a great point, which also brings up the merrits of the big bore. More CCs with maybe even LESS weight cause you bore it out! A larger engine stock from Triumph would definitely be heavier...




To get an idea how much difference that makes, when they first started making the 1200 piglet, they used the same cylinder castings and bored them bigger. The 1200 ended up 6 pounds lighter.
