I just read the info on the Aprilia Mana 850 GT ABS, I was blown away at the
761 hp it has! Phew, that is a real bike.

Looks like a decent ride. Windscreen and gas tank are a bit on the small side for touring, as are the bags. Have had a chain drive before. Don't really want another. But why do you find 76 hp and 57 ft lbs of torque so impressive?

Oh..I forgot. Every 4th stop sign I can add an after meal cigar because he has to fill up that small tank.

Just wondered. I carry a book when I ride with my son, who has a vulcan classic.

I am surprised you don't have him call NORAD to find out where you went.
