HI mate,
Fast enough to get you in to or out of trouble but can be ridden at a pace that lets you remember where youve been

Welcome to the madhouse Lee V twins are deffo different from the IL4's and may take a bit of getting used too. But waht fun you can have with them.
Have a good read through the workshop knowlagebase.
