On them I like to trundle along in a high gear at low revs. The triple didn't like to do this. Maybe I should just ride faster...

You'd love a stock Ducati 996! 35mph means slipping the clutch in 1st gear. I'm only slighty exagerating. In truth my 996 is the worst streetbike I've ever owned but it's still one of the last bikes I'd sell if I was liquidating the aviary.
