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 :wink:

Mamola reps are quite fast and very very loud at 6" from the exhaust at say 1**mph lol
