Modern Motorcycle is much, much heavier........
Get a peak on that helmet - you're not on the bike!

May I say (don’t shoot the messenger!) that the stand looks to be one of those ‘currently available’ stainless ones that may be too long.
The angle that it sits @ looks as if your frame/stand brackets might need some attention. If you don’t attend to the problem, the strain eventually breaks the weld of the frame struts to the frame, as I have found on a few scoots...

Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2016 9:24 pmThank you all. Feeling very good about things. As 68SXandy said, modern motorbikes have power, brakes, handling, smooth ride that doesn't vibrate bits of the bike off. Also on has one neutral in the gearbox. Lambretta gearbox seems to have many!
65 on scooter is as exciting as 130 on the bike mind.
