Yep it was the Diversion so being shaft drive the power was very usable as no wheelie scares as I used to get with my previous Suzuki 850 GS that was a beast getting from rest to 20 mph without pulling the front end up at a traffic light Grand Prix !

Boom!!! we now have a 2.7 twin turbo petrol Audi allroad, not too sure how that happened, and I have a 4.2 auto petrol Troll.

I did say to the wife being sensible is a reluctant option. lol

When we went to Austria in 2014 saw a few Can-Am type motorcycles in Klagenfurt they had two wheels at front and one at the rear ! They had them as Marshal / Paramedic type response vehicles when some sort of Car event was being held in nearby Velden am Worthersee.
