Maiden voyage of the Innova. Only local while wife nipped out. All the fun of a c90 but a bit more power and torque. Gear ratios very similar except second and third are longer,need to be in second ideally till 25-30 and third is needed to 45-50. Top is just an overdrive so pretty much useless below 50 but can be used if only on the flat and just wanting to pootle along.

I used to like the maximum speed in gear line on the speedometer on the old C90.
If I remember correctly you had to rev it in second gear until you couldn't see out of the mirrors before dropping it into third gear and losing all the revs you had gained.

The gearing is slightly better though. Longer second and third gears as well as a 4th overdrive.

Every single one at one point seemed to have a sticker on the handlebar cover with NEW GEAR PATTERN written on it and a diagram of the changes that had been made.

Two years to the day since I got a ditch pump. Very similar weather too, dry and cold with decent sun.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?
