“ Then the authorities realised that having a 250cc limit meant youngsters were ending up on 250cc two strokes like Suzuki’s RGV and Aprilia’s lovely RS, and they decided that having that much fun needed to be outlawed, obviously. ”

Sometimes, when your job includes testing motorcycles, you are forced to ride bikes you would never normally choose to ride. Before you start writing nasty emails about me to the Editor (again), I’m not complaining. It’s all fun, for the most part. They’re bikes, after all. Occasionally they turn out to be exactly what you expect, but more often than not, they open your eyes, even just a little.
