I fall into the second category. An "old fart" who wanted something easy and fun.
I got what I wanted but find that I need a little re-training time. :roll:
My last bike would do 100 mph with two gears left! It had a 1/4 turn throttle and lots of compression braking. What a difference.
After a couple of weeks, I'm just now getting really comfortable with the different dynamics. Need to downshift to get any real compression braking and don't need to feather the rear brake to help modulate the throttle in a turn. It may not be a rocket but has good pickup for a bike it's size......when you figure out that you can slap it WFO without raising the front or getting thrown off the back. :2tup:
