This Vs That...

[stanco]

I must admit the title is kinda stupid but i can't think of any suitable title for this thread. anyway my intention is to compare and contrast between certain parts such as

 

 

• monoshock vs normal rear shocks
  
• pro arm vs swing arm
  
• normal fork vs upside down fork
  
• oil cooled vs liquid cooled vs air cooled
  
• Engine setup such as inline 4 vs v-twin vs err... i dunno liao.
  
• any other different setup that you can think of....
  

 

but i don't have the knowledge so wondering any knowledgeable people out there care to share their input?

 

i did a quick look via the search function but don't seems to have such info, so if this has been discuss, mod please close this thread or direct me to the right direction. thanks.

 

Anyone?
