| That last post may have sounded stupid. I realize the displacement increase doesnt always equate to a bigger motor in physical weight and dimensions (I.e. the new triumph bonneville T120) but when I sat on a Audace a few weeks ago I swear that engine was wider and bigger than the GRiSO 1200. Placebo effect? Maybe... | |

| No it's not a sad transplant. It's a proper, embiggened, 1200. We leave the lies and bullshit to other 'Tuners' | |

Wider & taller cause of the fake toaster top valve covers. Myself, I could not ride something that huge unless just for a test after service. In farmboy talk, it's a 7 bottom GRiSO!! | |

| Well, the first map is done. I could be perfectly satisfied with it if I wasn't me. I will now go into anal mode and tweak it to within a gnat's pube of perfection. | |

| Have the cops realised yet, or haven't they seen it? Or do they say, "oh that, that's just Beetle testing his new toy"? | |

| Mark, Now that you've had the 1400 for a while and mapped it, how about a bit of a summary of how it stacks up against the 1200 (pros and cons)? | |

| Pros: More torque. A. Lot. More. Smoother. Crank balance is better. Bragging rights.
Cons: Uses more fuel. Not really a surprise.

| I would add that cracking the throttle open at speed will get you to a greater speed with extra ebullience. It's not that the 1200 lacks, it just the 1400 is more. It's hard to describe.

Thing is Matt I think you'll be so amazed by how a well mapped, not fucked, GRiSO runs you won't worry about a 1400 for a bit.... Pete | |
