I can well imagine. Maybe that is why it is not a daily rider ...

That's one thing I hated about my 1984 R100RT.

My thoughts also. There is tinkering and there is engineering ...

Quite a while ago I saw a video of this thing firing up at a bike meet somewhere. Can't remember what it sounded like but I would guess a mass of 2 strokes. How do you tell if you have fouled out cylinders? I still have to say: Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD!
