Thw rost thing about the Vespa was the lack of respect from people in cars. The second worst was thta it was unreliable.The dealer told me I was using it too hard which sounded like crap.<br />Riding the Bonneville I have enough power to pass cars that need to be passed and enough presence to be left well alone. Also I feel I am barely using half the available horsepower and thus supposedly prolonging the life of a motorcycle that suits me to a T.<br />My noistalgia is for the kick start Yamaha SR500 single. A lightweight machine which I remember very fondly and whic seems like it should be plenty for me. I tried a Suzuki 650 single and the engine was greta but the cruiser riding position and tiny tank (reserve at 90 miles) drove me nuts.<br />Back to the Bonneville. My perfect bike. Had the TU250 been on offer I might have tried that, I suppose. I wouldn't mind a Triumph Speed twin 500 in modern guiseConchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.com
