|  cruiser design weirdness
Doing research on bikes in order to make my upcoming new cruiser purchase, I have discovered something that I think is weird: Bikes really aren't implementing new tech at ALL. Hydraulic valve adjustment? -nope Belt drive instead of chain? - nope Dual front disk brakes for all bikes - nope I don't get it. For instance, the v-star 650 would be a great beginner bike, and in a lot of ways, it is... except you need to do valve adjustments every 4k miles. At the same time, I see bikes that cost similarly in the 80s had no such maintenance BS issues. What gives? |
