I like it. If the motor is built right, massive low rpm torque can be a treat in the twisties as opposed to frantic high rpm horsepower, in my experience. I considered USD forks on my T-Sport build years ago, but I think a literally rock solid front fork on an otherwise mediocre frame could cause problems. Like an engine build, components intended to improve handling must all work together...

Semantics...I love roads like Lolo, Beartooth, etc if I don't have have to frantically search for the pull; just enjoying a few gears from, say, 2000 to 4000. The blue bike pictured made 100ft lbs at 2200rpm. At 608 lbs with a half tank of fuel it was a pleasure in the curves, at least for me. And the engine braking was great; coupled with the composite discs, a fast relaxing ride.
Maybe you are refferring more to a narrow power band?

But obviously the bike in question wasn't built with long-range comfort in mind, so I guess questions of ergonomics are pretty pointless!

Oh yeah totally it's not made for riding crosscounty so it's lame.. You guys are high. Thats a good looking scoot that is tastefully done. Good thing he didn't ruin the bike with tbars and a fairing.

They are Lyndal's; bike was built 2005-2006; before the SOA craze...
bwoltz: 2000-6500? I ride the torque curve more than the HP curve these days; not as aggressive as I used to be when I was a kid but still enjoy a brisk pace on a lonely curvy road. Have the limiter set at 6000 on my current tune
