Apart from the SV650 (;)) as that was a widower maker.

The original widowmaker was the 1969 Kawasaki H1,then the name migrated to the 1972 H2 750,from there to bikes like the 04 ZX10RC1 and the Suzook TLS. Some folk desire it like a badge of honour ffs. :roll:

'Widowmaker' and 'Not for the faint hearted' cause me to up my medication. :thumbdown:
Yeah as it is Fient hearted...

I dare you to ride a hondamatic/variomatic with no instruction.
