The 844cc T-5 is one of the first Italian street bike (besides certain high-buck Bimotas) to hit these US shores with 16-inch wheels in the 80s. With the new small spinners the T-5 should have the quick steering response of a smaller motorcycle, while retaining the big-bike torque and ridability of an 850. Along with the front and rear 16s comes a new suspension system specifically designed to work with small rims and tires. The riding position is slightly more conservative than the Le Mans', but the quicker response  made the T-5 a favorite with commuters and canyon crazies alike.
