I cannot control my bodily fluids. I saw this and almost fainted. What a beautiful machine. I loveeeee bikes like this, not your gleaming Aprilia SXV, or any other **** like that. Down to earth gritty 2 stroke insane supermoto.
I think it's trying to tame the beast......years ago I had a go on a mates mako 400 and I don't know why it had a first gear because it would just try to spit you off . You always had to pull away in second..
The 500 single class isn't as savage as the high revving 125's and 250 ' s. The bigger piston is harder to get to rev high reliably and they're actually perform more like the four stroke counter part. I.e. more torques rather than peak power with a narrower band. Don't get me wrong, the shear torques on that thing are ridiculous but a V4 500 would be much more savage in terms of peak power
