    Not at all!
    The thing was, if you were running with someone with a big motor at highway speeds, it was a chore to keep up. He twists the throttle and effortlessly accelerate. I’d have to downshift and gun it just to keep up. But around town, it was perfect. Handled well, good manners, decent power, reliable.

    No Sir. I’ll go ahead and let the cat out of the bag though..... this was for starting the engines on WW1 airplanes. Supplied the spark to initially start the engine. That should give some idea of its age lol.

    And got 10mpg better than the big bikes. They could out accelerate you. But couldn't out run you. I could get 45,47mpg on The honda. 37mpg with my 96" when it was stock and you babied it. Now I dont care.

    Interesting. But the correct answer for today’s question is...

    If the bull wagons are stopping... you better be off the road and parking it post haste!
