Re: 2024 Superduke
No thanks. The single sided swingarm couldn't cope with the torque of the 1290, it always wheelied toward the central reservation!! I was listening to Chaz Davies a few months ago who is heavily involved in helping Ducati develop the V4 Panigale as an endurance racer. He said at the Le Mans 24 hour...

Re: The electric car revolution
Government should be investing in clean cheap public transport for urban areas, not building new roads.
Then you make motoring expensive in urban areas.
Also vehicles that pollute more should be taxed more both on new prices and annual road tax.

Re: Sinead O'Connor
This sums up up perfectly for me.
Tim Burgess, lead singer of British rock band the Charlatans, wrote on Twitter that "Sinead was the true embodiment of a punk spirit."
"She did not compromise and that made her life more of a struggle. Hoping that she has found peace," he said.

Re: The electric car revolution
In my opinion its a given that a some point we will all have a maximum carbon footprint to use which we can sell to others where we don't need it all.
Give me a decent option to driving and i would use it every time. I hate driving. There are far too many vehicles on the road now.

Re: The electric car revolution
Its storage of hydrogen that is the problem. To get sufficient into a fuel tank it needs to be a minimum of 5000psi and kept cold.
It will take massive steps forward in technology for it to be viable for bikes i would have thought.

I bet they will be in the financial shit if a recession hits. The group has big borrowings based on BofE Base rates. Its never a long term sound financial model.
