The bittersweet experience of my first motorcycle keeps me eyeing new deals on Craigslist fairly often. The carburettors were never properly tuned, the front brake never attached, and I never had a key for it, but I did take it for a spin and still remember the sheer thrill of riding this monster. It’s a raw and brutal experience that takes awhile to recover from. Even the fastest cars I’ve driven don’t compare to the pure adrenaline a powerful sportbike can offer any time it’s needed. Wear a helmet, hold on tight, and make sure your brakes are attached.
I’d buy another in a heartbeat if I had no other projects in the works.
