Two-wheeled adventures.
It's fair to say, that I have been very lucky with my motorbikes. My first bike was a CBR250R. Bought in early October, 2015, and passed the test on 16th December that year. There's not much to say about any 250's, except it was loud, slow, and pretty darn fuel efficient. For a learner, however, it was fantastic. Looking back on the exhaust now, it's embarrassingly obnoxious - not a nice sound at all - but it was mine, and I loved it. My first 'big' bike was a Kawasaki Z1000, 2007 model (ZR1000B). It sounded great - big inline four-cylinder engine, with some very expensive exhausts and a whole bunch of other aesthetic and performance enhancing goodies to boot. All for a decent price. I bought it before I'd even passed my RE test, in late November 2015. It was loud, but not raucous by any means. At idle, you could describe it as a refined purr, rapidly devolving into a grand prix-esque howl as it screamed past in the higher registers. Genera
