One thing that puts me off the twin personally, is I liked the engine head poking out the side of the engine cowling on 125 and 160 high arch models. The twin was more like the low arch in that respect and it took away that characteristic to me. The large and very attractive catcher made up for things somewhat. Might be why I love the 1980s side pull full crank Mustang with a similar looking catcher, but slightly narrower to fit the narrower deck.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
