[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 170866, member: 2708"] Sometimes the peak numbers don't mean much for real roads, it's the graph area under the line that matters. In the video, Dave Mitchell rode up on his DBD34 that he has owned and ridden for years. He hopped on the new 650 BSA Goldstar and immediately found it to be stronger and much easier to ride than his DBD34. That's likely because the new Goldstar has a larger engine that is tuned to make quite a lot more low and midrange power than the DBD34. It also has a first gear ratio that makes sense for road use. He explains all of that better than I can. The 650 Goldstar just doesn't have to work as hard as the DBD34 to shift the rider down the road. That was my take on his experience. You don't have to rev the nuts off of it and slip the clutch for ages just to get rolling to 30 or 40mph. I would love to own an original Goldstar but this new offering does seem to have some advantages, aside from price and warranty. [/QUOTE]
