darwin_boy - Nice profile - what else can you say, other than the drum brake being there  March 16, 2010 04:00 AM
That rear drum kind of gets in the way of the clarity of the picture of the profile. It looks like a World War II picture - that part of it anyway. Reminds me of the old German bikes, just that part of the picture.

A rotor is needed there. And twin rotors on the front at least.

A big grab-all rear rotor, with the emphasis slightly loaded towards the rear to take the harder grab off the front but still do it's job, with twin front rotors, which enables the driver to change their mind in a heart beat as to whether to stop right there or go hard. That would increase safety too. The pre-release testing needs to include heavy traffic riding (like in Bangkok, Denpasar, etc) where the driver needs stop/start instantly, without worry and without delay.

That's just my $0.02c worth.
