How is water cooling high tech, or even desireable? It was developed in the 1930s for engines that did not get enough air flow. It adds complexity, maintenance, and more things to break, rust, and wear out. It also adds weight and cost, so designers generally only use it when they HAVE to. It is in no way, shape, or form a high tech feature, and in many applications it is a serious drawback.

Oh, I curently own two Harleys, two Suzukis, and one Chinese bike.
