Alan has come away from the NEC today scratching his head
because having seen the the new S2R, and also the 620 monster - and all 3 Paul Smart bikes, he is very confused about the front brake calipers
All of these bikes have got fitted with 2 piston slider calipers, which seems to be very old technology - as Ducati have been using 4 pot brembos on the monster range for quite a long time - in fact, as far back as he can remember..
Does anyone know why Ducati have done this?
Is this a way of of saving money? - or is there some new technology surrounding them? - as they look like the ones fitted to bikes 15 or more years ago.
Anyone have any answers?
Is it also right that the Paul Smarts arent going to be launched till 2006 now - is there a problem - as the bikes on the stand looked all 'together'
