He says this sits really nicely, very comfortable with plenty of 600cc power. Also very smooth. Automatic transmission with peobably works with a Hy-Vo belt means no shifting in traffic. Sounds great to me. I told him that Mrs Herring might ride it and commandeer it right out from under him. He told me not to give her any ideas Lol! Gosh, I drove a Lambretta scooter around about 60 years ago. Much smaller engine. And do not qualify for highway as not enough horsepower. Buddy in high school had a 175 Vespa. Convinced the highway patrol guy that meant 17.5 HP. Required 15 for freeway travel. The Lambretta was fine for put-putting around New Haven and environs but not for the highway. When I was in high school there was a heck of a lot less people on the road, and a bigger percentage could drive. Well, New Haven was a small city, without a lot of heavy, through traffic on the major streets. The scariest riding area for me was outside the city, on U.S. 1, aka The Boston Post Road, which had lots of commercial and industrial locations and big-time truck traffic. It wasn't a highway as we know them today; it had lots of traffic signals and cross streets, and it was always heavily traveled. A little Lambretta was something you drove warily. I preferred driving it around the little roads/streets where we spent the summers at the beach. Light traffic, usually nothing heavy, slow speeds, no one it a big hurry. As you know, from all your experience on the Ducati Imaginario, the only way to ride any two-wheeler is 'warily'. Must be a difference in "driving" and "riding". I never "drove" a motorcycle. :-) You've never owned a Ducati Imaginario. |
