Thinking of going back to standard on my TV175 but how do they ride with that long rod etc? are they quick etc. How are they compaired to a standard 200?

Not quick,just smooooooth!
Realistic top speed around 60mph,slightly over geared,but a classy machine,in my humble opinion.

As the man said smooth.........

This has a Gori on it but the rest is as it left the dealer.

smooth and not far off the 200's regarding speed.

The best bike Innocenti ever produced IMO

Thanks all. I've had the TV175 with a 200 engine in but managed to get holed of a TV175 engine. I'm going to rebuild it but might put on a Clubman as the only upgrade, any thoughts on this?

mine is a standard TV175 with a 42mm Clubman- from memory all I've done is up the main from 106 to 108 (as per TV200)

Rides lovely and nearly as quick as a 200 but much smoother. Don't know what it is about TV175 S3's but they just seem to handle better than anything else- probably the smoother set up influences your senses.

Back in the day the S3 TV175 was THE bike of choice in my locality- still my choice to this day.

what makes them so smooth ? is it the longer rod configuration or other factors ?

Clubman will be fine mate. Good luck
