 Motorcycling (2)
No, you definitely don't have a speedometer like that, no matter what kind of car you drive. It's also far from the most modern. But very compact despite a wealth of displays. There are motorcycles where the tachometer is
even more important.

It's also justified, as fast as the engines rev up, red (here black) range between 9 and 10,000 rpm, no wonder with a curb weight of well over 200 kg. However, drivers have long since become accustomed to the high speeds
in the scale reading.
However, being able to reach 215 km/h with 81 kW (110 hp) or almost 250 km/h with 110 kW (150 hp) is probably only possible in the series with a production motorcycle, especially since this performance is at 9500 rpm
and is produced from 1.2 liter displacement, of course these days on motorcycles always without a turbocharger.
| The turbocharger reached the the motorcycle in the 80s and left again immediately. |
Do you also have such a stylish exhaust system in your Akrapovic car? It has been possible since 2010, but for the 20 years before that the company had developed such systems exclusively for motorcycles. There you also
have a lot more of such an expensive system made of carbon and titanium sheets than under a car.
But you certainly don't have two such wonderful, radially screwed Brembo brakes with thin discs perforated like this. These have grooves that transport the water diagonally outwards when it is wet. The picture shows a fixed
caliper brake, the pistons of which can also have different diameters next to each other. Fist calipers are also possible at the back.
No, you cannot preload the springs on your vehicle unless it has coilover suspension. On a motorcycle, you go one step further and make the rebound and compression stages of the dampers (usually at the bottom for
rebound and at the top for compression) adjustable.
First the damper oil is warmed up and then, for example, the rear is forcibly compressed. The compression stage has to provide a certain resistance, while the rebound stage is responsible for how long the rear takes to
reach its old height again.
The tubular frame of a motorcycle is sometimes so sensitive that the manufacturer does not even allow a small boring. The assistance systems are again very similar to cars, with the ASB/ESP functions even being
expanded.
