It's nice to have a torquey motor. Just imagine that with top end pull, too.
You know how people say riding a Duck is as much about soul/feel as it is about the numbers on paper? Riding a Desmoquattro is as much about its rawness as it is about the HP, or liquid cooling, or fuel injection (well compared to the carby SSs at least). There's an immediacy and lack of civility that makes it way more fun (and difficult) to ride.
Thank goodness all these old bikes that stir our souls are relatively cheap.
