I'm fine with small wheels, I'm taking it for what it is; a machine just for the mistostretto(not too fast curves).
When I said handling the front I meant the behaviour of the forecarriage due to that kind of system of not forks, similar to Bimota, which I hope is responsive enough at that moment that just follow the front brake release while entering the corner.

Seriously - you need to be an optimist to get involved with that dragster. My mates had a full engine rebuild under warranty less than 3 months from new, it was only a few weeks after that it went in the skip. For the occasional, sunny day it might be fun but unreliable bikes are a misery, especially if parts are rare and hard to find.
Totally agree with the sentiments on two strokes though. Airhead - keep the TZR, I absolutely love the gen 1s, arguably the simplest and best of the lot. Also probably worth a bit more every year you hang on to it now.

Handling on the dragster wasn't that great from memory. Small wheels always put me off a bit but I agree on the 2 strokes holding their value if you look after them. Unlikely to be any more big bore models getting made with the emissions issue. Probably worth a punt if you like customising your bikes.
