LOL, that is what I alway thought of the look of these engines. A little like polished tea kettles, but beautiful. Always liked the looks of these bikes.

Pretty solid on the curve and stable on the straight always. As acceleration...once it hit 4K rpm it want to take off and again at 6k.
Red line is at 7k and come pretty quick. One I had to learn is use a lot of brake as there is no engine brake as with the 4 strokes.
Very fun ride...
