Handling - Mu compared to Speed?

Hello everyone,

I'm eyeing this Mu...



... which is nearly 4,000 riyals (not that I'm anywhere near having this much cash to burn, but still...)

So, for those who know both bikes, I was wondering how it handles compared to the Speed D8 (which I already have.) I love the Speed's handling: nimble, stable, with decisive turn-in, and largely unfazed by mid-turn imperfections - it just feels planted at all times.

In comparison, my other Dahon - a Vybe D7, with its admittedly more "relaxed" geometry - just isn't given to outright, zippy speed; it's slightly rear-heavy nature precludes thoughtless tossability.

So, before I throw caution to the wind and lay down whatever cash I might obtain in the near future on that Mu, I'd like to get some input on what it is I'm actually getting! Thanks in advance, people!
