One I thought strange about bikes going to water cooling, aren't all bikes water cooled and have been for a while ?

Nope, the boxer motor is just now getting water cooling and several models of it are still air cooled.Polokid69 wrote:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2016/03/3 ... t_facebook

A lot more now but a few years ago, not many. BMW, and Yamaha I think were it.Polokid69 wrote:how many bikes are ride-by-wire ?

Re: 5 Futuristic Motorcycle Technologies That Make Ridingabr
The only techs mentioned there that are really futuristic are the Helmet, and the stability control, although both have been around for awhile, just not available on the street yet. Liquid cooling is so old tech, (first used on a motorcycle in 1908) surprised they didn't list fuel injection, it's only been around for 16 years or so.

Stability control is already on the BMW and a few others I think and that was 2012 so probably more by now. Maybe a little different but the same idea and function.

I guess to the person that wrote the article liquid cooling seemed futuristic

Fly by wire really isn't either, that's been around a while.Polokid69 wrote:I guess to the person that wrote the article liquid cooling seemed futuristic
