| oops pressed the wrong button! anyway speed aside why do i like this bike? (sorry, love this bike) It´s different, I think it looks fab and much better than all these identical japs. Lovely torquey motor - it pulls lovely from zero with effortless torque, quite fun to out-grunt a ZX-R up a hill, also fun listening to japs change gear while i just give a twist! Awkward at low speed though, need to slip the clutch, not cos it´s a gutless 2-stroke it´s just too torquey at like mini-roundabout speeds. I got naughty exhausts on too which makes it sound great. Lovely handling, maybe not a flicker but that front end is SOLID! It´s nice and simple, shaft drive is great (who needs a chain?) and air-cooling one less thing to go wrong. So it´s practical and fun. It´s also satisfying to annoy ´blade, R1 riders and the like. I can´t get past ´em, but they can´t shake off that boring old BMW in their mirrors! |
