This is an old thread But I want to bring it back because everyone is breathing heavy about the handeling. I have an 02 and a 76 and I think the 76 handles much better at slow speeds. The 02 feels heavy and the wheel wants to "flop" over starting a turn from stop or slow speed. I have to push back on the bars to keep it from turning more. The 76 feels like a bicycle . I could ride with no hands.
The 02 also "hops around" at speed like I'm in a rut or crossing a grate bridge. Crossing a thick dotted line in the road feels like ice. its shakes around at speed like it's being blown around by wind. Maybe its' the stock tires and shocks and no steerring damper. but I'm not liking it and don't think I should have to spend money to make it handle right. It is beautiful though. In fact I'm thinking about selling it and putting the money into getting the 76 running right. (no electric start is the only thing holding me back, old knees).

The T140 '76 is a much better bike than the Hinkley in the handling department.
