..escaped your attention for whatever reason. In this case because it's pretty niche, but there must be many others..(I've not long been appraised aboutthe Aprilia Shiver and Bennelli Tre for example).

Small doesn't even begin to describe them though, they are miniscule. I loved the idea of one of these and when one came in at my local grey importers (that was a thing in the 90's, they'd import container-loads of 4-year old JDM bikes which were due a Japanese MOT. The test was very strict and had a high failure rate so most people just got a new bike once it turned 4).
I went there with every intention of buying it, then realised there is no way I could have physically ridden it without sticking my knees out sideways beyond the width of the handlebars like on a mini-moto. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
