Another form of aventure biking?

Post by Dark Knight »

Just throw one of these, sales brochure attached, into the boot of your car.
I believe that the handle bars fold down.
So you use the car to carry the luggage and take you to some point of interest.
Then you get the bike out and tour the area, getting to know the locals and country side in greater detail.
No more high speed running down the Autobahn, etc, seeing very little.
Getting ready for the GB bail out which s beginning to look inevitable.

Must admit that if you are on a less intimadating ( spelling) smaller bike, people seem more likely to talk to you.
Maybe some sort of hangover from the 1960.s when the newspapers paid some bikers to kick over some scooters down south, so they could get a story and encourage more people to buy cars.
Do not really see why that would apply to the continent.

A problem with the ST90 is the fuel tank is only 2.5 l so restricts the range but good training for your future electric bike!!
but it will fit inside my car - Cmax.
I can fit a topbox so I can take a 5l can with me but it ruins the appearance.

I suppose that you should be able to cruise around 40 to 50 MPH.
What are the drum brakes like on these small bikes?
I remember in the 1960,s on my AJS 31CSR when you were up at about 100 MPH, if you had to stop, you could only slow down about 50 MPH where the brakes faded out due to the heat, you then had to swerve to avoid the obstacle.
