[QUOTE="Little Honda, post: 112676, member: 667"] Ernst Hegeler´s Norvin, too, has the Commando forks fitted. More comfy than mine. His frame is an original Slim Line, being lengthened by 2 in. It rides very similar to a Commando. This year, he let me ride it to a section meet in northern Germany, near the danish border. About 400 miles in total. Most beautiful country roads with low traffic. Somewhen, I met 2 police riders in uniform, training formation riding. I stayed behind them, enjoying their riding, which was dead simultaneously, even, when overtaking cars. After some time, I followed as their third link for some 25 - 30 miles. On empty roads, we exceeded 100mph, some time, not changing positions for more than a yard. Most enjoyable! We have a speed limit of 60mph on country roads, so I thought: " If they stop now, they´ll take your license for speeding!" But I continued. I saw, that they enjoyed it, as well. Later, we entered a short distance of motorway, where they went over 125mph on their modern BMWs, and I slowed down, not to risk Ernst´s bike. On country roads, a good Norvin is not inferior to modern touring bikes, even with much more power, due to the much higher weight of modern bikes - except super sports bikes, which is a different matter.
