Sales people; most are young farts while here most of us are old farts. Naturally we're going to know more than they do. Still; I wish they do their homework. I don't remember being that ignorant when I was in the motorcycle business.
Shaft drive; for me, it's change the oil. Something even a salesman could do.....
A fellow Griso rider road my CB1100 today (I got to ride his tricked out Griso) and he was very impressed. From the press reviews he did not end up with all that favorable of an image (and comparing paper specs among bikes). He said it was very easy to ride, very light on its' feet - the thing that impressed him the most - with decent pep. I came away knowing my Griso needed a suspension guy to help me set her up. His Griso was very nicely set up in the suspension department. He said this ride proved that you have to test ride a bike to really know it. You can't really go by dry specs.
It's kinda like comparing a nice Buick to a raw Z28, the both have their pluses, but he sees why I like the bike.
