Re: James May The Reassembler Honda 50

Looked forward to some detail on the centrifugal(centripetal for the purists) clutch and the disengagement system when the gear lever is pressed--its a work of simplicity, reliability and Honda magic--but there was nothing on the engine!

Re: How much bhp do you really need?

I agree that a lot of bikes in the one lite are over the top in usable performance.
At 105bhp my Street Triple is perfect.
If I was banished to ride a 20hp bike for the rest of my life I would probably top myself.

Re: North West Spain/Pico's advice please

You won't be far from some excellent riding wherever you stay. Potes is busy with loads of shops and restaurants and caters for the tourist. Not my cup of tea but I always make a visit. Riano is in a stunning setting but the town is new and lacks a little soul. The old town was submerged when they ...
