But Norton's are 100% safe, Booby.

You think Norton is the bees knees.

But I would love to go back to 1977 and take a ride on a new Kawasaki 900. Never ever the 2 stroke 750 tho,,, that thing killed more people than Stalin

Yes the Kawa 900 was a great bike -

however the H2 750 was more fun to ride but a bit uncontrollable.

I rode them all.

It would behave then with just a tiny bit more throttle it would turn into a screaming axe murderer. The 900 was just pure smooth power. Probably slow by todays standards,,, I will never find out.

Yes the H2 750 2 stroke would hit the power band while you passed a car or truck & then you'd look at the speedo
& you were going over 160 km/hr in a 60 zone -
really wicked power & bloody dangerous.
You just wouldn't realise how fast you were going.

The Kawa 900 was a lot more smooth & would tend to wind out more slowly but it was still quick.

I quickly realised that I would not have been a survivor so only ever messed around a bit off road. I would have loved to have been a serious rider but chose to stay alive instead.

You can make an error or two driving a car but on a bike one error can easily be the end of you.
