Hmm. Curtis, that's like asking the ride?characteristics?of a 1973 Paramount... No, worse, because most Hetchins were custom made, be they path racers, touring, road racing , track or ? All bikes of that era will be much more compliant than modern bikes.?

AND, any?response?you receive from this question will be SO subjective. A fat guy (!)will have had a different experience than a skinny guy, ditto tall vs short... an experienced ex-racer will have a different set of expectations than a die hard tourer. In short, you can't believe anyone!
