Hey herbie! Let me put a few more miles on it and I'll let you know. The front binders are still not right and I have a new master cylinder coming. I figured if it goes like hell, I better make it stop the same way. ;-)
I can tell you this though, compared to the Wee (26 years tech difference), the XS11 is a TANK! Just shoving it onto my bike lift is a hernia popper.
The Wee, as you've experienced, while not super-powerful, has one of the most useful power curves I've ever ridden. Completely friendly across the tach. On the XS11, it's just a brute. It's amazing how far bikes have come. Old bikes are cool and nostalgic, but man, you have to pilot them.
