What's the matter Chuey, you don't like tractor-like shifting? The R100/7 I used to have had a lightened flywheel and I didn't notice any better shifting than on my R80. Them old airheads just don't shift butter smooth, as we all know. There's a certain arcane art to shifting them. I used to hit false neutrals once in a while between 2nd and 3rd.

Now my R1200R on the other hand, shifts like a fine Swiss watch.

I'm shopping for a Westfalia right now and have seen some real messes described as mint that belong beside that poor /6.
My neighbor is selling his, I don't think he's listed it yet. 85 I think. Not sure how much, needs cash to visit his parents in New Zealand.
