I remember having a "race" against one many years ago at RAF Colern, back in the day when you could just go there are ride around (!)
Simple drag race, me on a relatively stock RD350LC, matey boy on his 750 'kettle. Not only did the RD walk all over it performance wise, the Suzuki could hardly keep itself going in a straight line! Even on the smooth ish surface of an old airfield it was bucking up and down, side to side and at anything approaching a ton, would tie itself in knots threatening to tankslap.
I did sound nice I suppose....

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Saw this today outside a hire shop. Looks well built and must be reliable if hire shops choose them. And a bargain price.
Not my thing but some folk will enjoy them

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I think this is the best thing I've ever seen!
@DefTrap take note what you could have if you put the hard work in!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I saw an ebay ad for a Honda Ruckus/Zoomer with an aftermarket 170cc engine.
The Ruckus is a pretty cool looking little ped, but 50c, meh.
I disappeared down the google rabbit hole and discovered that Honda made a 250 version.
How mental looking is this...
The pillion seat even folds up to make a backrest!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Thanks - added to my never ending probably won't buy (almost definitely not again from DK) list! I love bikes like this but I'd just never use them. I think it's all part my teenage surf dream eternal summer fantasy. Cool at the beach but I'd look a tool at the Co-Op.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
We should club together to pay for a container shipped from Japan, then fill it full of stupid shit no one else wants.
I really want a 250 Hornet and a Spada.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
If you're @Skub or just like 70's motorcycles then this place has a stock list just for you!
https://www.billlomasmotorcycles.co.uk/bikes-for-sale/
That 750 H2 is a bit spendy tho' (in the write up it says it's been restored by Jeff. I know a guy called Jeff who restores classic bikes for millionaires and the like, if it's one of his it'll be perfect).

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
List of Suzuki models available new in Kenya...
https://www.suzukikenya.com/
That penultimate one is quite interesting, as the UK stopped getting them sometime in the 80's?
