When you stop to have a yarn to your fellow tourers you can still discuss the weather, the sheep shit on the road, the damp spots, the cops etc like all the cruiser types - but those of us on sprotsbikes can compare aches & pains as well.

Well, Norton used to do a range of featherbed models.

The stereo in isn't bad either. I had some slight clearance issues with my feet and the bodywork and the pedals, but apart from that the most comfortable bike I've ridden.
It's amps rental - wonderful way to spend an afternoon smelling the roses.
Whatever happened to all those Norton Featherbeds they were bloody good frames. (IMO)Originally Posted by Ixion
A friend had a 500cc twin (with the flat mufflers) back in the fifties and that bike was a performer for the day too. I loved riding it.
