I would think that VSO's are better maintained/sturdier than the
Tridents and B9's. Engine roaring yes, that's common, but there are
'silent' B10TL's too.
Axle problems, none that I've heard so far. The B10TL may be
loud and have lousy acceleration, but it feels really sturdy
compared to the fidgety Trident or the bumboat B9's.
i gotta agree with this though...now i'm recalling how the VSO
roared in WRI...
