Wow, 600 territory for sure. That would have the Mustang throwing up it's arms.
I actually find the straight handle bars on the lower end victas slightly more comfortable than the upturned 'comfort grip' ones. Fortunately the back lawn is dead flat, and the front only has a slight incline
I had my "don't you hate it" today when I hesitated in taking a Victa steel deck with dead looking Briggs (missing air cleaner) with ratty paint and tyres but no play in the front axles and a sound deck. I caused oil to spill out the throat by tilting it forwards to check under for rust around the handle mounts (it was clean). Black oil was dribbling all over the deck and my car was a fair ways away. It had those straight handles which I quite like. While deciding what to do, a car pulled up and a man got out and grabbed it right away. I wasn't going to fight for it as it needed a repaint and the handle knobs were missing so it was difficult to wheel away on foot. Good luck to the new owners.
