Very cool looking. If going slow is your thang and you don't want a cruiser, then the Griso would be a good alternative. You can lumber effortlessly all day long with that torquey engine at legal or slightly below legal speed.
So, in your opinion, 80mph runs through the mountains on this bike are out of the question?
