Well, first miles on mine last night....
WOW!
Whilst I had ridden Sticky's somewhat peaky 225, my Muggy 260 is the other end of the torque spectrum and from my short test ride the impression is that this is fantastic. Whilst mine happily pulled me around France/Belgium with the 4-speed in, the torque and long gearing (4.4) meant that it was quite a 'lazy' ride (ideal for touring), however, the Cyclone means that the 'lazy' feel has been transformed into now feeling very lively. From launch in 1st to end of 5th (not that I've pushed it, as it has only just been assembled and is bedding in) it doesn't even think of hitting a lull between gears/rev, it just pulls, pulls and pulls!
I need to play the revs and ratios off against tacho (on order) feedback to ensure that I've got the ideal 5th but I certainly do have a HUGE grin on my face
Nice work RLC.

Got one on order also, expected in January, with a Rocho clutch coming soon, hope the Misses does see my credit card bill, need to sell my JL2 pipe and a NK, so I can get a Franspeed pipe to finish off, before the new season. Then hopefully it's riding with a grin.
