             How would it have torque steer? - (pwhysall) - (17) - May 27, 2007, 02:29:32 AM EDT
                 Monster-motored personal vehicles are silly. - (Another Scott) - (16) - May 27, 2007, 07:33:39 AM EDT

                         "Torque lean", "Counter-torque lean", something like that? -NT - (CRConrad) - (3) - May 27, 2007, 09:42:48 AM EDT
                             On a bike, if you're leaning you're steering -NT - (drewk) - (2) - May 27, 2007, 09:55:24 AM EDT
                                 Not if you counter by actually *steering* the other way. -NT - (CRConrad) - (1) - May 27, 2007, 01:20:03 PM EDT

                                 How does that work, then? - (pwhysall) - (3) - May 27, 2007, 03:32:12 PM EDT
                                     No; just that like BMWs, they have longitudinal crankshafts - (CRConrad) - (2) - May 27, 2007, 07:25:38 PM EDT
                                         gotcha, thanks - (pwhysall) - (1) - May 28, 2007, 03:26:08 AM EDT
                                             Yeah, of course; they should never have started using it. -NT - (CRConrad) - May 28, 2007, 04:48:29 AM EDT
                             The driveshaft on the K100 is more than twice as long - (drewk) - (4) - May 28, 2007, 12:42:04 PM EDT
                                 What would the LENGTH of the shaft have to do with anything? - (CRConrad) - (3) - May 28, 2007, 04:34:49 PM EDT
                                     Now exactly where is this conversation headed? -NT - (bepatient) - May 28, 2007, 05:30:26 PM EDT
                                     Yes, I'd guess more than twice the mass -NT - (drewk) - (1) - May 28, 2007, 08:55:39 PM EDT
                                         Not particularly. - (folkert) - May 28, 2007, 10:16:23 PM EDT

It's like dingos mating with elephants: messy loud with lots of snapping and position changes.
