Anyone following this?
The documentary was on HD Theater (Birth of a Racer) . It's a fresh blank page design of an American Superbike. I missed the first half but they were talking about how thin the bike was and how easy to shift the weight in turns.
Something about two cranks spinning in opposite directions to counteract the inertia??? It's a 3 cam motor with the intake ports squeezed between the cams for a straight shot. A couple test riders were amazed saying they had to almost re-learn to ride in some aspects.
It's a great engineering and entrepreneurial story as well. All new thinking and constantly on the edge of bankruptcy.
Might be worth looking into your "local listings for a replay". I think it's Discovery Channel documentary, HDTHR picks up a lot of different stuff.
