| Slow to rev, slow to slow down, long-lasting, and clunky to shift suits me just fine. |
Yeah, suits me too! All that talk about lighter
flywheels leaves me wondering why.
Lenny, congrats on the Beemer. If there weren't
guzzis, I'd be riding a beemer too.
Re: tyres: I am still running $35 Chen-Shing C289's
front and back, 4" each, on my Ambo. The work fine,
are not hard (unlike the C-S Hi Max), clear away water
well, etc., and are very cheep. My Vert, OTOH, is
wearing some kind of high-end tire that also works
well, and clearly corner better, but cost much much
more.
Oh, well. The Spitfires are a very good compromise.
-Mike (69 ambo, 77 vert)
