I have "Twist The Throttle" on the tube right now. The Suzuki story. Maybe they should fire their editers as the are telling the story of the 'GS 750",and are showing the "GT 750" water buffalo and are calling it a four cylinder 4 stroke.How dumb do they think we are. Makes me wonder how many other UNTRUTHS are told on this show as fact. I like the format but to show off a "Buffalo" and try to passit off as a 4 stroke is just a bit to much for me.

A DVD box set would be nice". The HD Theater is an odd station over here where I live. All it said on the screen is test. It never says what is on. If I didn't have internet I could not get the air time. The sad part all the air time is based on Eastern Time zone. The Discovery Channel for this program and a few others on this channel are really hard to find out what’s playing and there time and date. I would just like to purchase the whole set and just forget about the discovery channel if there schedule is that bad that you can't find the time the show comes on unless you have an internet connection to search the time. If I didn't have a connection at my job I wouldn't known there was other shows and this "twist of throttle". I forgot to mention that I live in the Seattle area and the cable/satellite company is DISH Network. On the station, it only said TEST. Which to alot of people they think DISH is only running some system check, until you click on it. Then you go WOW, what’s this. And what kind of show is this "Twist the Throttle" “Any word on the ability to purchase the programs. A DVD box set would be nice”. The HD Theater is an odd station over here where I live.

This episode is about the history of Suzuki. The GS750 which is a 4 cylinder 4 stroke was the subject. The photos shown of the GS750 were actually the photos of a GT750 which is a 3 cylinder 2 stroke. How could they make such an obvious error?

BMW manufactured aircraft engines in World War 2. The Folke Wolf 190 had a BMW air cooled rotary engine in it. The company was specifically targeted by Allied bombing and after the war had nothing left. My understanding is that the the motorcycles were the first product to be manufactured after the war by reverse engineering because all the orginal drawings and records of products made before the war were destroyed. Why was this omitted from Twist the throttle? The Twist the Throttle show on BMW was great, except their was 1 significant gap in the history. BMW manufactured aircraft engines in World War 2.
