Yeah, I guess it's a matter of perspective.
Of course, it's no where near as smooth as, say, the beemer I'm on up in that picture at 80mph.
But compared to say, a twin of the same displacement, at the same engine speed... it's smooooov....
Hehe if you spun say a 350/450 Honda twin at the same redline as the 350F it would be smooth......
It'd be stopped, with busted parts probably protruding lol
First 350 twins had a factory redline of 10.5k
Doesn't mean they are pleasant to ride up there....
