I had absolutely no trouble switching to a different configuration.  I
did like the "WORRR" of the triple at WOT, but I don't miss it.  Now,
gear-driven cams at 11,000rpm *always* make me giddy.  

It's funny, but the thing I miss most about the Sprint is the idle
noise.  When I ride with Duncan and we stop at a light, listening to the
peanut grinder sounds from his bike warms my heart.

Laters,
Brian
