You know , I remember my high school years like it was yesterday. There were three dealerships near my house, one sold Yamahas exclusively, one sold Kawasaki's and Harley Davidsons which was an unusual combo, and the other sold Triumphs and Suzukis another unusual combo. All these bikes were new and current models at the time, now I think about them and they are collectible classics again. I remember going to that Kawasaki dealership and dreaming of those hot rod triples, and at the Suzuki dealership , the water buffalo's and the GT triples, and then at the Triumph dealership looking at the Tigers and Bonnevilles, never dreaming that 35 years later I would own a Bonneville. It's all kind of surreal.
so the power-to-weight ratio was more in my favor.
