I'd love to know how you beat all those 4 cylinder superbikes off the lights....because it ain't superior low down torque, at least not vs anything bigger than a 600.
Had a go a while back on my mates Thruxton (with flat bar conversion.) They are comfy and sound nice but the engine is gutless for a 900 twin and they're super heavy. Reminded me of a slightly faster 450 Superdream.
Bet your Vespa would slay it in traffic.... :)

It looks lovely and makes an amazing sound. It's a total posers machine.
The parallel twin gives it buckets of low down torque so you can beat all those 4 cylinder superbikes off the lights.
However it's heavy, and doesn't really handle that well. I've never really worked out how to hustle the thing in town. Also the air/oil cooled engine is capable of cooking your legs if you get stuck in traffic for any length of time. It's best on a b-road, but then aren't all bikes?
