I recommend the book "Total Control" for anyone who rides - there's a good section that covers this along with other ergonomic issues with setting up a bike properly.
^ That screw thing sounds interesting. My 03 650 doesn't have it (great ergonomics though). Wonder when they stopped, or if only the twins had it. Thanks for the Total Control rec.
That brings back memories- I rode a Matchless 650 single whin I was 14 or so. Love the torque.
The Sport 1000 looks cool, but it is pretty uncomfortable. Keep in mind this is coming from a guy who, once upon a time, used to club race on an Aprilia rs250 so I am used to uncomfortable Italian bikes!
Isn't it uncomfortable to ride leaning over so far if you're going a long distance?
Actually, one of the most pleasant ways to handle long distance on an unfaired bike, IME, is to put a tank bag on top of the tank, fill it with your stuff, and lie down on it. But yes, generally, if you want long distance comfort, get a bike with a fairing and somewhat more upright seating position.
So while I was riding my bike home from work last week, a car just happened not to see me in my lane and struck the side of my bike.. (I walked away with no injuries)
