 Post subject: Uncocoon!
PostPosted: Sat Sep 12, 2009 7:29 am 
After about a 3 year hiatus I un-cocooned my 750 Paso and fired it up today. I was off work sick with the flu, but had enough energy to get the Paso going. Even after 21 years and 3 years in (prepared) storage it still fires right up. Nothing matches a Paso for the perfect balance between performance, comfort, and perfectly integrated beauty. I've got an Aprilia RSV in my garage these days, and it's a super machine also, but it doesn't quite have the magic of the Paso (although, 140 bhp and easy wheelies are a bit intoxicating, I must admit).

I'll take the Paso for a check ride tomorrow and then I'm looking forward to a great ride on Sunday!

Dave

Great compliments for a Paso, comparing to an Aprilia RSV.
No matter, several times I also told the same thing: I sold a modern Honda Hornet 600 to buy my red 907.
No regret! Never.
Ciao

Francesco - Ah, the wonderful 907. Good trade on your part.

Another great ride with the Paso today, swoopingthrough Sierra Nevada mountain roads, and I'm reminding myself that the Paso has a perfect balance between many different aspects, to include a reasonable level of comfort. Life is good.
