Less power

In the real world, there is such a thing as too much power – heresy? If you need a barrage of electronic restrainers to stop you from crashing and burning spectacularly, I would suggest you have more power than your ability and the circumstances require. How much satisfaction can there be in simply winding on the throttle until the electronics or the Highway patrol step in and spoil your party after 3.9 seconds? Some of my most enjoyable motoring experiences have been on a Yamaha AS1 two stroke twin and a Daihatsu 360cc two stroke twin car. In each case skill and effort were needed to reach moderate speed which resulted in a thrill and satisfaction. Speed, the motoring sense, is like other addictive drugs. One requires a tolerance and requires more and more to get the same high. Just say no! Get a 2125. The only ones who’ll regret it are the bank and the State Debt Recovery.
