Monte, do you have handlebar risers on the Turnip ?
I *almost* bought a Trophy 900 before I bought my 1998 Kawasaki Concours - they have alot of similarities, handling wise, tho the Connie has shaft drive and no chain to deal with. As fast as you might think the turnip goes from 50->80, if it is anything like the Concours, it will actually go from 80->110 even more quickly as the powerband doesn't REALLY get serious until a bit over 5K RPM or so.. be careful out there !
