Just finished a good ride on the bike i describe as 'I want to have its babies'.
Short story - short bike.
17" front wheel quickens up steering appreciably - at the cost of some cornering clearance.
Very easy bike to get a peg dragging - increased capability to do so via wheel diameter and sportier, more chuckable geometry.
Has made it a noticeably smaller bike. Seat still comfy.
Ideal ladies model or for a compact gentleman.
The EFI has introduced a new level of smoothness to the engine.
A simply delightful vehicle.
Upcoming article featuring the SE and the Guzzi V7 and the joys of retro motorcycles is entitled 'BD & The Sunshine Band.'
