    I have been riding bikes for 25 years and always supersports. The one that i always remember is the Yamaha RD500. I loved them so much that when smashed my first one up bought another. You cant beet the whole experience. With the sounds the smells and the sight of 4 smoking exhausts on a cold morning getting ready for an afternoon of adrenaline. I just wished i had kept mine. I have never had anything close to the feeling that i got with those old 2 V4 strokes. Only downside is working on the bike. I had a £2 rear crank bearing fail and took a week to strip down and replace.

    The Yamaha RD500 accelerates really hard then when you think its all over it belts you in your back like being hit with a cricket bat. So the engine is the best bit 500 two stroke wheelies at any speed just like a grand prix bike.
    you have got to ride one once as just standing looking at it parked up frightened me, but in a good way. Only had it for 2 weeks. But like any good love affair you remember it forever.
