10 lbs. is a big deal, we used to chuckle that 10lbs equaled 20 horsepower.
Hey Gregger, there’s no reason you couldn’t add a raked triple tree and a stretched front end. The shorter neck angle does make the bike seem much more compact but I’ll bet it handles really quick. I plan to find out...the competition is between the new speedy and the new scout, I’m going to ride both and the best handling machine comes home with me.
