It's many years since I rode a V twin, since my SV I've had a parallel twwin, two IL4s and now the triple. Bike is in the workshop today and the loaner is a Dullsville 650. When I saw it I thought 'what a barge, what a POS'.
But once I got used to the physical size of it, it's a pleasant surprise - far more capable than I thought it would be. It must be twice the size of my 675. Not as slow as I was expecting, more manooverable too, riding position is odd after the 675, and not as engaging, but OK. I can actually see things other than my elbows in the morrors, and doing a shoulder check is not a physical impossibility. Of course it won't set the Thames on fire but it wasn't designed to.
I could be converted
