…Suffice it to say that in the real world of street riding, power and torque down low are better than lots of power at high revs.
Captain O is right on the money! That’s why I kept the KLR250 and sold the Ninjette. Two bikes are enough for me: the baby KLR and the 3-cylinder K75. Both these bikes have the down-low torque and provide a comfortable ride-erect (so to speak) posture. Ironically, the pre-gen Ninjette was the most exepensive of the three to insure.

If I ever get a full-on sport bike, it’ll probably be a Gixxer 750.
