…and that "800cc" thing is a reflection of me on my KLR, which probably made 60hp on a good day. Piaggio does make freeway-capable scooters, but I think I'd rather have a little more geometry to my suspension if we're going to make that sort of rate. 125s and 250s are absolutely awesome up to and including about 50mph, in my experience. Once you get up into the realm of "crazy American speeds" it helps to have some reserve. I had to push my KLR to 95 in order to escape a homocidal semi driver and it was an "engines canna take much more'o'this captain" experience. On that Benelli? "BLLLLIP you're doing 130 mutherfucker."
