[QUOTE="Little Honda, post: 112915, member: 667"] Not from my point of view. When riding my friend´s slim line Norvin, my knees do not touch the tank. I have to squeeze them like a virgin, to have contact to the tank. I like having my legs parallel or a little open at the front with easy contact to the tank, to feel comfortable. This works only on the wideline. Of course, comfort is the sum of many reasons. The standard Norton brakes are useless - the rear brake does not deserve its name. The duplex front brake with green Ferrodo linings is ok, when nicely adjusted. Also from my impressions, a Comet offers a nicer ride comfortwise, than a twin, mostly due to its lower weight, which also makes original brakes - if nicely adjusted - fully sufficient for this bike. Not so for a twin, where they are average, if! I do like the std. Vincent framework on the Comet racer, best with Brampton forks, hydraulically damped - big fun! [/QUOTE]
