Haven't ridden it (yet), but have a basketcase belt-drive Triumph (gasp), and its piston and flywheel weight a ton.Maybe not literally, but they are HEAVY. The piston is remarkably solid = heavy.And apparently would pull strongly from VERY low rpm.(as you have to, with no gears and no clutch, effectively one speed gearing. )Heavy flywheel and heavy piston were part of that equation - damps out the torque pulses, very effectively apparently.And the Triumph of that era was said to be the best of the single cylinders, very widely copied design.They won the 1908 TT with it too, faster time than previous year... ?
