why thank you for your arrogant assessment of my riding ability. you obviously know me well.
I took the "assessment" as a general comment, not a jibe.
One learns to be a better rider when
one isnt able to rely just on HP.....
compare that v50 to any normal 500cc ish off rider and it'd be slow, heavy and crap was my point.
Its a fair point. We know small capacity Guzzis are slow and heavy. It is possible to still have fun on such a ride though. And this one - IMO - is cool. Slow, heavy but cool. And I'd love to own something like it.
My MZ Silver Star has a whopping 34 bhp and weighs 349 lbs. Most fun I've had on a motorcycle in a long time (probably since my last Morini). Teaches you to be a good rider, not one that relys on horsepower to mask the lack of skill.
You touched a happy nerve for me there. My 350cc Morini 3 1/2 was underpowered when compared to most 250cc machines of the era. Yet, it taught me to become a better rider. My boots got worn out from grounding on that bike (no knee downs in those days
). A low power, grin-from-ear-to-ear machine.
but then again, i'm often wrong.
You too, eh
