mattylad Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) I had the pleasure of a couple of hours on the new four stroke at Birks emporium yesterday. The bike feels really good to stand on (much better than my 315). The steering is very neutral with no real top heavy feel on turns. The bike feels as wide as a Mont at ankle level which I do not think is a problem. The engine is super, real power if you open it up. It is smooth off the bottom end without any carb glitches. (Oh and it starts first or second kick hot or cold but takes an age to warm up from cold). It is certainly much quieter than a 4RT but still sounds like a good old 4 banger. I think it is way too low geared and could do the same tight sections in first, second or third. There are some real nice engineering touches as well. All in all a very nice bike.

ahamayfrank Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 mattylad Thank you for the riding info. Sounds like an impressive machine. I am constantly searching for anything about this bike. I have tried to read the Italian article a number of times and I become more confused after each reading. Can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
