Interesting. I wonder what the seat of the pants feeling is on one of those, I'm sure it's nothing like my old CR 250R. That thing was brutal

This is another example that air cooled V-Twins , big block Chevy V-8's, Chrysler Hemi's all has seen their day. The fat lady ain't ready to sing yet, but she sure is putting on the weight!
