Of course, if you don't already have the Sport Suspension option, you could, for instance, add the sway bars from that package. 1-2 mm larger, I...
I agree; just got the Mini rear rack and it works great! You do need to work with your particular pair of bikes to get the adjustments right,...
Good point; maybe they are still useful for downshifting on grades or before entering turns.
You are right about difference in engine characteristics. However the TDI torque is maximum at low revs, 1500-2400 or so. I drive both an R60 S...

Actually most CVT's have either a torque converter or a wet clutch between the pulley system and engine flywheel.
