After riding two of my friend's motorcycles, I found them much easier and more enjoyable to ride than the Z750GP I owned at the time, so I started to consider switching. Both of them had two-cylinder engines, with the 250 cc engine having a very stiff frame and the 750 cc engine having a very good traction on the rear tire.
So I looked for a motorcycle that was a combination of the two, and what I found was the Honda Bros. It didn't look good and was so unpopular that I hardly saw it on the street, but I ordered it without hesitation.
The impression I got after actually buying and riding it was disappointing. The design concept of the motorcycle was not suitable for sport riding, to the extent that I could conclude that it was a touring vehicle for middle-aged people.
However, there were two fortunate things. The first was that the engineers at White Power, a Dutch suspension parts manufacturer, had developed and sold a very good suspension kit, and the second was that the wheel size allowed the use of radial tires, which was a new innovation for sports driving.
Thanks in part to these factors, once the car was set up, it became an unbeatable car that won many races in the gymkhana world at that time. However, as the development of tires progressed over the years, they became less and less suitable for older designs, and after eight years of driving two of them, I had to let them go.
The lesson I learned was: choose the tires and then choose motorcycle.
