When I was 18 I jumped straight from a yamaha mx 175 to the Honda CB900
which owned the road , but I wish i had bought the kawasaki 900 which
was much prettier. After only getting 900 miles per back tyre I realised
i was riding silly (I was very light then and had some amazing tank
slappers at around 120 - with a passenger it was fine). I sold the 900
to get a CB 750 K6 - the first mod was to swap the four exhausts which
grounded when cornering for a 4 into 1 pipe which sounded amazing but
no where near as nice as the sound of my Jota.
