I'd need longer arms to go with them, though I think it has quicker steering than the GSX750ET I had in the 80s and I used to throw that about

They're really not that bad. Wait 'till you see some of the other stuff that people muscle about on those classic days. Spare a thought for Phil LB with the CBX and that thing does not loiter about!!!

I've just got back from Dublin, so whilst Mrs Coose watches something uplifting on the idiot lantern it gives me the perfect opportunity to sneak into the garage with a tape measure. From the swinging arm pivot to the centre of the eccentric on my Davida is a straight 500mm. Though you would never get the spindle to the centre of the eccentric it gives an idea.
