There are lots of spoken generalities with engines that are not always the case. |
I just edited my last post to include, "...That said, for example I am much more happy riding the long stroke 650cc Triumph vs. the short stroke 650cc BSA..."
which is exactly the same as the example you provided. ha ha. Especially on the dirt track , the long stroke, high torque Triumphs ruled. Lower torque, higher rpm machines consistently ate their dust & finished out of the running
