IMHO the GB and SR looked like what they were, this reminds me too much of a japanese bike trying to softly ape a character of a british bike in style but w some cues from Indian motor design. I cant really put my finger on it.

I should like it, i want to like it, but there's just something... off to me.

best of both worlds, small nimble and can do 90 mph. Only goes as fast as you want it to. rode it down the interstate to meet up w friends then go ride. this is my point. it doesnt have to be a performance turd to be ridden slow and enjoyably.



same reason i traded the XR150L in on the DR650. 95% of the time, i rode them both at the same speeds as i go the same places. BUT, when i i want to run down the highway, then go ride slow, i can.

IF that GB had 10-15 more HP, which is easily doable by the factory, then, yes, would be a lot more appealing.

In a certain sense, it's also a question of character, and with the 350 long-stroke engines, I'm fascinated by their general character.

I have decided that the CB and the Monkey and Cub have to go. This way I don't have to spend extra money on them (GB) and I have space in the garage again... because I currently have 7 bikes...
