Just my opinion, but, my red Stallion is made for running hard. Sunday rides
are usually 300miles on the backroads southwest of Dallas/Ft Worth. I feel that
anything under 250miles, needs to be taken in a cage...unless you are dual
sporting.If you run hard enough -- on enough twisties -- and long enough, the
adrenaline will cause you to be thoroughly happy with everything! ;)

<P> All this leads to a question

<BR>comfy when riding it slowly in cities? Is it the type of bike that
makes
