    Nice... Full power version I assume @Shearer?
    They sound lovely and give a bit more midrange if you put decent mufflers on them. Watch the bendy bits holding the front wheel under braking or hard cornering though , the weakest part of an otherwise impressive machine

    No. Not the V-boost model (unfortunately) but very tidy for 1993. I don't expect I will be dragging a knee on it
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Yeah. At the time 145 (claimed) hp was good but I own fast bikes so I accept this as an ill handling cruiser. And it's orange like my other ones

    Torque city. Should still leave an impressive black stripe on the throttle in second gear.
