I hearsay that to pass noise tests HD control the noise through the computer at the specific RPM range that the test is carried out in. Don't ask, I don't know anything.

Fun fact-
Mitsubishi produced 10,000+ Zero planes for the Second World War, it dominated for 2 years, then became less effective, the within another 3 years was only useful for throwing itself, and its pilot, violently into its nearest target
Hmmmm.

The bastards bombed Darwin with them!
Zero was a great plane when new, super quick light and maneouverable, but no pilot protection and didn't get the development and replacement the American planes did.
Look at the pace of WW2 tech development. Started with Char B's and panzers with 50mm guns, 109's and tomahawks, ended with ME262's, Tigers and JS2's. Single shot bolt action rifles in 1939, MP44 assault rifles at the end.

Oh, and both Russian and American space programmes were borne out of the rocketry of those few years.

Well, sure BRG..., based on work done by Nazi scientists, after they'd had practice raining them down on London..
& Kawasaki too, built Nazi V12 mills under license to fit to their Ki 61 Hien WW 2 fighters,
- as well as utilizing the ex-Nazi MZ-based 2T tech in the 1960s to win G.P.s & sell decent road bikes..

James, yes, best not ask about the factories either, and to this day I couldn't countenance buying a VolksWagen.
BUT, I digress! What about these Kawasaki fuel tanks then.

Who cares about any GPX anyhow?
None of them really make the cut as collectable 'classics', & surely, this is a 2T forum..
But since its off topic.. I do drive ol' Adolf's choice in cars, the Mercedes-Benz,
& yeah, it does make me feel a bit like invading Poland.. in a tank..l.o.l...
