What’s a jobber? You mean Chopper?

There’s more than 100hp. If you mean Cruiser in general (you can’t really do it out of yours), then machines like the Triumph Rocket 3 also get 167PS and the Ducati Diavel 168PS and if you count as a Yamaha VMax as well.

But at the classic chopper, why would you want a lot of performance? The entire vehicle concept is not designed for performance and is equipped with plenty of sloping freedom.

Now I’ll figure out what you mean. These vehicles are called “Chopper”. Jobber is completely different.

Choppers are not there to heat but to cruise. This allows you to walk on rather straight routes in the cozy tempi. The freedom of inclination is undergroundly bad.

So you don’t need many PS, with exceptions like the V-Rod.

The V7 is not a chopper.

Because two aren’t necessary. In addition, the load distribution is another.

Both are not sports machines. The Transalp is a machine designed for long travel.

The number of brake discs says nothing about the performance of the brake system. But a Transalp is rather full loaded over mountain passes and can carry some reserves, while a Bonneville is mostly comfortable driving through the opposite.

Easy: Because that’s enough! In an upright sitting position, it becomes uncomfortable from 120 onwards. So what am I supposed to do with a mopped, what 300 runs if I can comfortably cruise on the road with 100?

Because they’re built for greetings and not for heating.

If I have to go to Munich for 900km, I also take the big comfortable machine!
