The twins


Studies in contrast. On the left, a Harley-Davidson Sportster from squarely in the "gleefully leaks oil" era. If ever a bike was misnamed, it was the sporty. On the right, a Honda VTR1000F SuperHawk. The Sportster has 1200cc, and turns 5500 revolutions per fortnight. The SuperHawk has 996cc (being Japanese, it is required by law to say so somewhere in the graphics), and spins to the moon, and would probably refuse to leak oil if you drilled a hole in the cases. Senor Asco was nowhere to be seen that day. Posted by Hello
