I too had a divvie , it was a great commuter touring bike. The shaft drive never intruded, and although only 80 odd bhp it would accelerate OK to 120 . I even rode mine round donnington for a few laps !I did 14k mile sin less than a year it was just so nice to ride almost anywhere on....
Set against modern tackle like the GS its hopelessly outclassed in just about every area...but its still a worthy bike, if a tad expensive at the time in the mid 90s.A great bike to just pootle about on.
Chain drive is a nightmare for cleaning...I have tried both way s- dry lube ,and fling off lube...both have pros and cons. Theres nothing like shaft drive for touring ...its worth its weight in gold tbh.
