Well a strong Chinook had been blowing across southern Alberta the last few days. Chinooks are warm westerly winds. The snow melted off as well as the ice in the back alleys so I had the opportunity to take the 1100 sport I bought out for a ride today. First impressions are that it has a chip and I could dearly use one in my Centauro. The suspension is setup better as well something else that needs some more attention in the Centauro. A fun bike you can tell it's got long legs it does not feel like it has the grunt of the Centauro. I may have to see if I can lower the pegs a bit my legs are scrunched up. I also need at a minimum to adjust the rear brake pedal. The bike handles really well the Michelin road pilot fours feel great best tire I have ever rode on. IMG 20171124 143629065
 
Just for something to think about. You get the same effect from raising the seat as you do from lowering the pegs. If you know a place that uses closed cell foam, raising the seat an inch (26mm) or so can have the same result without sacrificing ground clearance.
