I was thinking what my 700 would be like with a Manual transmission and a chain drive.
It is a weight reduction issue colliding with the lack of modivation by after market companies.
If I could get the bike weight down around 425 - 450. It would be a more monsterous bike.

Drop a bill off the bike and see how it rips?
anyone heard anything?

 

rumor has it a fellow in california did put a chain and sprocket on his vforce and he does about 90 miles an hour and 120 or 160 ft pounds of torque at the rear wheels. haven't got the whole story yet. will keep all informed. also he has a big bore 784.
