A few comments...
To Dave S:
I really love the exhaust note of the stock MG V7. I have never ridden one of these bikes but even it that were the case I can't imagine any of the V7's other positive traits displacing that one at the top of the list for me. Speaking of exhausts and MG's — as far as the Griso is concerned when it comes to the overall look, your exhaust modifications (I'm assuming those are the stock headers) has pulled off a minor miracle as far as I'm concerned. I actually like the looks of the Griso in stock form, with the exception the exhaust can(faux-cans?). If I owned a Griso myself I would definitely be on the lookout for an exhaust very similar to the one you've installed. Man, what a difference for the better that makes. Nicely done.
To the ferret, et al.:
I can appreciate the mention of the ideal horsepower / torque spec for each individual and the impact those elements can have on how enjoyable, or fun, a motorcycle can be for each of us. I can also appreciate the mention of the differences in the characteristics of power delivery that exist from one engine design to the next — along with the impact this can have upon each of us from an enjoyment standpoint as well. That each of these points would be raised in such a discussion does not surprise me. However, what I am surprised by is that no one brought up the impact that the horsepower / weight ratio plays in addition to these other things. Was there a conscious reason behind this omission? (In other words, is there something that I am not considering or am overlooking when camping in this part of the forest?)
