Grew up starting with a step through Honda 50 with dreams of "upgrading" to the Trail 90 with the dual range transmission. Put the big sprocket on the back and it would climb a set of stairs up to the attic. It has been over 40 years so I guess you could ask how I know that! Later went to the "cooler" SL 90 then Scrambler type CL 175. From that stage on it was bigger road bikes starting with the 750F Super Sport then on to the Kawasaki GPz750 and finally ZRX1200r for the last bike. Almost 60 and still not many things more exciting than redlining a bike and when that means way north of 100 mph I finally decided discretion is the better part of valor and moved back to riding horses and mules while I was still alive. See these kids on sport bikes with no shirt, shorts and flip flops and just cringe. Apparently they think road rash is something the OTHER guy gets and not them.

The same basic frame and engine is still being made down here, albeit with a good bit of fairing and larger displacement. They are a very dependable little bike indeed.
