Hi Stim, lovely bike, a bit big for me, but I like the look of it (I bet people ask what it is/how much etc.)
I get that with my XTX, which is also a bit tall as I'm only 5'9" and being of Spanish descent most of that height is in the torso not the legs, so I find it a challenge getting on and off, especially on a slope.
I wouldn't have anything else but Battlax which I have on front and back, and I can report they tramline too, I think most bikes do to a certain extent unless they have very wide tyres as the bigger ones tend to.
Regarding that feel of days of yore, I know what you mean, for me it's the beat of a long stroke motor that I'm guessing your kwacker doesn't have.
My Harley sportster is similar but oh so much lower, a bit too low (don't try and turn corners with a Harley whatever you do LOL)
Welcome to this fantastic resource.
