Just a little different. Do you know how cool this would be to ride!!!! And after all isn't that the name of the game? i.e. to feel what it is to ride something a little different? Ok let me explain. Back in the day when I use to ride motorcycles - like from 1981 to 1990, I owned 10 motorcycles over that period. You might ask why so many? And I will say; Because after a while I just became a little bored of the ride. I owned 6 trail/enduro motorbikes, 1 motocross racing motorbike, and 3 sports road motorbikes. Engine sizes went from 175cc to 1000cc. I owned three 2 stroke and seven 4 stroke engined motorbikes. I owned seven single cylinder motorcycles and 3 four cylinder road bikes. Yes I loved big single cylinder 4 stroke engined trail/enduro bikes plus all 3 road bikes were 4 cylinder inline engined. I never owned/rode a twin cylinder engined motorcycle! The main reason behind that was because they tended to be out of my price range. 'Twins' were either English (Triumph or Norton) or Italian (Ducati & Moto Guzzi) or German (BMW) made and were expensive to buy here in New Zealand. I had my near-death motorcycle accident in 1990 on my 1985 Kawasaki GPZ 750R Ninja that resulted in me losing my entire left leg at the hip joint and left side of my pelvis.
