Maybe so, but it's like a 'bego on steroids. A friend of mine rides one
and he has no problems keeping up with us in the twisties on Skyline
Drive. (And no, we're not a bunch of grandpas tootling around, either!
:-) It really does handle very well, and with much less effort than
you'd think. It's huge windshield/fairing protects you from most of the
elements, so long stretches at 80+ MPH are easy. If you can afford one,
they're a great way to pile on the miles, day after day after day after
day...
