Thanks Engineer...yeah the plate really gives my bike the retro look. As far as torque v horsepower is concerned, I find that I can use and enjoy torque at every stop light, stop sign and exiting every curve without making a fuss and without actually breaking any speed limits. Just the feeling of that big push is exhillerating. I had a four cylinder bike back in 98 (Yamaha Maxim 550), I put 15,000 on it in 51 weeks...but my previous ride had been a Virago and I missed that low end torque ! I went quite a few years without a bike after that until the Ryca caught my eye. I would probably have bought it based simply on the styling and riding position etc, the fact that it is a single was just a HUGE bonus and has left me no doubt that singles and twins suit my riding style.
