I've been ignoring the R65's, mainly as I'm not sure how one would go
hauling my bulk about. It would be putting a pretty sizeable strain on
it.

Didn't see that particular one, where was it advertised?

Well, as I said last time we spoke, you can have a ride on the DX125 if
you want.

No, no, they mostly start okay.

You do realize that an R90S, despite their fabulous reputation as the
very pinnacle of the kraut zeitgeist, is fundamentally in the same
category of power and handling as the XJ and CX, but with lots higher
maintenance?

Hah. Just went looking for your email address and found the set you

I assume you're talking Divvy here 'cause the old XJ is a 130.

My first ride on an R90S was a short run to charge the battery on an absent
mate's bike.
I'd always admired the bike since Joe Eastmure won the Castrol 6 Hour on
one (beating people like Willing, Hansford and Sayle on Z1s) but I found it
awkward and weird, I kept stubbing my toes on the big carbies and I
couldn't turn the indicators off.
20km became 50km as I decided that I'd empty the tank and refill with
premium as it was pinging a little....
Then I turn off to Mt Glorious.
All up I did over 400km before sunburn forced me to go home (I was only
wearing shorts and shirtsleeves 'cause I was only going around the
block....) and I thoroughly enjoyed the bike and will always remember it
glowingly.
Had I turned around after just 10km I would've told you it was awkward,
slow and uncomfortable.
