My 240 seems slow after I get out of the TD or the truck but,once you get used to it, it's fine. I do have the 4 speed so I guess that helps.

Someone in an earlier post mentioned driving it like a loaded truck. Thats the way you have to drive it. Floor it just before you go to climb a hill, look out for those high speed merges and basically plan ahead.

Love that Norton ya got there Kenny. Had a few of them myself. Someone else mentioned Guzzi's. I recently found a Guzzi moped! Had to have it.

Cheers,

Bill
