This part resonates with me  Smile

"The "Duc" is very underpowered by modern standards, and in fact was marginal even by the standards of the mid-1970s. Despite a lack of horsepower, however, the synthesis of how the power is delivered in concert with its handling produced a machine that, in the hands of the right rider, is very fast on a twisty road".


People who base their preferences on horsepower figures are so missing the point, in my humble opinion  Smile
