I bought to my dad who is a bit older. And we rode for most our lives. I regret my decision. Not because of the bike. It still runs beautifully with 36 k miles on it. It is a toque monster. Not really all that fast, but powerful off the start. I really think my dad is scared of it. No, it’s not bulky. And he can put both feet down for only being 5’7”. But damn it’s powerful off the line. Not a bike for the faint of heart.
