Hank,

The RS will grow on you. It takes more forethought to ride your ride.


It took me more than a few rides to get the RS. I also discovered that the previous owner had a 180 shoehorned onto the rear wheel. Caused all kinds of ill feelings.

Rich...I agree with ya there..It seems to love 80-85 mph...
With the 4 speed, it seems to be geared rather tall...First gear especially..it does have a 180 rear on it , Michelin.
Im gonna be out on it again soon for more fun...Hb

I would think twice about that 180. You only have a 4.5" wheel.

80-85 and it just loping along. I come down the entrance ramps to the highway and I do not realize it is passing 90.
