sure does, has been mistaken for a 748 by riders sitting at the top of our favorite range much to their surprise when I came around the last corner on a sports tourer
very deep, loud sound from the straight through mufflers
I'm still coming to terms with this fact
did ride up the Gilles hwy last saturday with the wrong crew
was supposed to meet up with the lads at a servo and go from there
but I was on the wrong side of the servo
thought it was strange I didnt know anyone, just thought that the regulars mustn't have made it
when we took off up the range I was about 3rd from the front of the pack out of about 12 or so riders
ended up being a bit of a mobile chicane and got past by about 5 guys
did have the front end "fold" a couple of times trying to stay with them, but that was due to me and too much input on the bars rather than pushing the tire too much
the only time I caught them was when the road turned wet and they all slowed up
turns out they are called the "gravel grinders" by the guys I've ben riding with for the past few months
because apparently someone is nearly always getting an ambo ride home
I'll make sure I'm with the slower group next weekend
