That sounds like a bit of subterfuge to me, after all the R12S's pillion credentials were, how shall we put it..................................obvious

My Wife loved mine when I had it. She could see straight ahead over the top of me.
She insisted on the Ventura rack to lean against though....

I thought the black ones were the fastest, almost as fast as Mamola reps
The yellow ones just wear out rubber faster

Boxered's is black and certainly fast and very often yellow ones have wire showing through the rear tyre , but I'm not sure if it's cause there fast
Mamola reps are quite fast and very very loud at 6" from the exhaust at say 1**mph lol
