So far as I'm concerned, there's no throttle that's TOO "snatchy".... And even if it were, I'd rather that than the opposite :) Stellar review, so much fun to watch..

Easier to hold when stopping in front of roadcrosses, you name it. I have had a lot of big bikes so I talk of experiance. Now I have light bikes. Well the Honda 750 DCT is my havyest bike.
