I bet that the belt holds up better than the timing chain on a POS
Gallero.

Detune? DETUNE? That's like detuning an Audi A8 or a FJR1200...down
right dumb. 8^p I would suggest rather that one learns to develop a
MATURE and RESPOSIBLE throttle hand, anyway the damn cops will be
following you everywhere drooling on themselves just looking at the
bike.

That IS one nice-looking bike, and I have to admit I was also thinking
somewhat along those lines - would love to see that engine in something
that was a little more oriented to long-distance touring. But it really
is great as a nekkid standard, just as-is.

You wanna 'splain that in a bit more detail? Narrow-angle V-6s have
been used successfully in a number of examples, the obvious one
being Volkswagen's VR6 as noted in the article. And it's probably
better to think of this sort of thing as a straight-6 squeezed down to
a more reasonably-sized package.

Not that I wanna work on the thing myself, but like they said - it
oughta be ungodly smooth, with plenty of power, and not nearly
as wide as trying to stick a regular straight-6 into a bike frame.
