Rubbish motorcycle slogans and acronyms

1127cc oil cooled motor same as the GSXR1100.

I rode a K1200GT with a power screen it was ace. Had a heated seat too which was even acer!

Pic of me checking the Piss odouriser was still working.

Maybe smaller carbs than the GSXR11 too, which I thought were a good thing. I can't remember. I do know they increased 2mm from the 1990L to the 1991M, sacrificing midrange for top end.

I think they're more like a Bandit engine than a GSXR, I believe (but could be wrong) they have helical primary drive and hyvo cam chain to make them quieter.

My 92 (same as the 91) has 40mm carbs, which are generally accepted as overkill.

I don't remember the 91 GSXR1100 to be lacking in mid range power, my memory is that it had power everywhere and went like fuck, shame it didn't like corners.

Any bike with numbers in it's name and the numbers aren't the CC. For example the F 750 GS.

Apparently my Hypermotard 939 is 937cc??

ISTR Harley are close with their numbers, 883 and 1340.

Although the Americans like to use 'cubic inches'!

Go back, it’s a trick!

The “Capri 98” scooter is only 94.2cc!

Totally feckin' made up now of course, the same 2 litre 4 pot appears in all kinds of 316, 318, 320, 330 etc. models which previously would have been 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 3.0 etc.

The "63" series AMGs have never been 6.3, closest they got was 6.2 and now they're as small as 2.something like.

I remember first seeing 35 on the back of a small Audi and thinking 'yeah, good for you, go on!'

I see 35 and 40 on Audis these days - I bet they're still really using that rough old 2.7 engine though [retches uncontrollably].

1.5 (35) and 2.0 (40) aren't they? I only sort of know as said 'Blimey bet that goes with a 3.5 litre engine' only to be told it's nothing to do with size and it's a 1.5 turbo.

At the training scheme one morning, a lad on a a Suzuki TS50 stopped alongside, looked down, asked "Is that only 50cc?"

1.5, wow! I guess they're lighter and give better fuel economy than the old six potters.

Wonder what he would have thought of a Morini 3 1/2
