Need another bike

On the trail, it might be different standing on the pegs and running in third gear without red lights and crosswalks. But the search is half the fun of the whole thing.

Even on the street I rev my RT a lot higher than you probably do with your Nomad and higher than I did with mine and there are times I take to near redline (8000 RPM) when I am looking for maximum scoot. Ride a bike like the wee or mine at 2-3000 rpm and it'll been a slug. My guess is that for normal cruising, the Wee likes 4-5000 rpm like my RT.
