| Hi Douglas
The SP's frame has a steeper steering head angle, and this makes it much quicker/easier to turn and a good deal more lively. It feels almost as lively as the Suzuki GSXR750WT I once owned (and that bike was infamous for its 'chuckability'). Moreover, the SP weighs over 30lb less than the Strada, and this is immediately noticeable. (that's like removing 15 bags of sugar from the pillion!)
The SP feels a much smaller machine really. Ridden back-to-back, it's hard to know they're the same bike! |
