    Smooth

    Man I must say that my XS is smoother than any other old school bike I can ever remember riding and as smooth or smoother than most modern bikes with a balance shaft, why? Better balance? Rubber mounting?

    Maybe it's because the engine rotates backwards compared to most other bikes? Plus the big main shaft in the engine has a big dampner built in to it??
