Typical, bloody typical. I finally retired the toerag after 10 years
of excellent service and replaced it with a Ducati 900ss powered
Cagiva Gran Canyon mega trail bike and
Cagiva go and announce that
next year they\'re going to replace the engine with a detuned
Suzuki TL1000R engine. The 900ss version puts out 74bhp at
the crank and pulls good wheelies and spins back wheel frequently.
The TL1000 powered version will put out 115bhp at the crank!
Imagine that sort of power on your favourite trailride?
And to top it all off, Suzuki are set to release their own
DR1000 - let\'s hope it doesn\'t look like the Dr Big.
In the mean time I can thoroughly recommend the 900ss powered Cagiva. It\'s got
excellent acceleration, handles brilliantly - foot peg scraping cornering ability - looks and sounds
gorgeous.
