really like it
I think the new one is really good looking bike, too bad its not a 800cc, but its still nice.

I'd suggest that some journo's will have a pre-existing, let down, go through the motion, mindset about this bike, so don't get too hopeful about things being too balanced initially.I'm really looking forward to the ride reports from the jounalists. Heaven knows our existing bikes didn't sell on their looks--though I'm not saying the old style look is actually bad...
These bikes have sold on their performance, rideability, value and durability.
The Wee has generally gotten great reviews from the press. It doesn't get much print these days because it hasn't changed in so long but no doubt it will get ink.I'd suggest that some journo's will have a pre-existing, let down, go through the motion, mindset about this bike, so don't get too hopeful about things being too balanced initially.
Best way is hire / ride one for yourself I would say, or wait for people who actually bought one to report back and take an average.

I believe the oil cooler has been integrated with the radiator??..?? I read something somewhere to that effect, but am too lazy to find it right now. :beatnik:Where is the oil cooler? Cant to find out more about it. The whole bike that is. Not just the oil cooler.
Cooler is gone.......uses radiator fluids now to cool the oil. It's talked about in the other 23 threads started on the "new" model. :mrgreen:Where is the oil cooler?
to my old eyes - new style is more street-like, old style is more rugged (wanna-be off-road)
Probably watercooled intercoolers or something else. There were problems years ago with coolant/oil heat exchangers but it has been pretty common stuff for over 25years now in some cars..
An oil-cooler (i.e. heat exchanger) incorporated inside the water-cooling system?
I am out of touch - but didn't the truck manufacturers try that, decades ago?
And give it up because any leakages / cracks / failures that led to "intermingling", ended up to be very expensive (including a lot of downtime) ?
Or is this the current good engineering practice?
(Or maybe I'm thinking of watercooled intercoolers for turbochargers.)
