I never cared for street bikes, they terrify me. Not the bike as much as all the other shitty drivers on the road.
i had a lot of fun on dirt bikes though. Last ride about 10 years ago, fixed up my nephew’s yz125. Biggest issue is it was carboned up. I loaded tank with sea foam and drove it a couple times a day for a week. It was hard to start and bagged. After a week it woke right up, pulled the wheel in every gear.
That powerband was crazy!
Then i saw him drive it. He never went into the powerband at all. Explains why it was so loaded up.
