Holy Thread Revival Batman!! First bike was in 81. A 75 Yamaha RD 250 two-stroke smoker. It would go 118mph downhill with the wind behind it. You could lean it over in a turn till you dragged elbows and almost shoulders before it started to slide out on you. Put about about a hundred turn signals and 30,000 miles on it over two years riding in the snow and the rain while being a poor student without a car. Couldn't afford the insurance for a car but a bike was so much cheaper. Chicks dig bikes, even little ones back then. Then I got my 80 KZ 550 in 08. Lots of miles and lots of smiles! Always wanted to get back into riding but always put it off till "next season". Finally got off my ass and just went out and bought one. Didn't really like the newer sport bikes and the cruisers looked slow and heavy so I got this instead. Not sure what the future will bring. But I'm thinking older iron, mid 80's to mid 90's. About a liter and with electronic ignition (The rd tought me to hate changing points)
