Riding for fun and adventure...

Patrick_777,

I rode a 900 Fireblade once and got scared, of course I even got scared on a Norton commando so maybe I just need to stay off really quick bikes (the Norton was "quick" back in 1973). Something about the rear wheel getting loose with a bit too much right wrist movement in a corner. I admit the biggest cruiser I have ridden was a 1,340 cc Harley so granted I know nothing about big cruisers with real power like the Strat. But the Harley was not scary at all. And I have not been on a ninja 250 so I have no basis for my hunch. Thanks for setting me straight.
