Re: R90SS Better brakes and ride?
You are the first person who accused the R90S of being nimble. He said "nibble". That must be a technical term describing that sideways chatter in tight turns. I am an idiot. I don't know how I read nimble when it clearly said nibble. The R90S with the LWB and super heavy front end is any...
