Quite a trick the engineers at Suzuki came up with eh?
I have the same reaction and my bike is in storage several thousand miles away - but think about it and the open road and that silly grin starts!
Oh there was a little NSU back in '60 that did the same thing for me - but I was in high school and had never been kissed then!
Not sure how those folks accomplished it but there definitely is some special magic in the layout of this ride
The enthusiasm of this forum only reflects how universal that magic is.
Course it could be argued that so many of the modern scoots are so totally inappropriate for the riding conditions they are asked to accomodate that getting some wheels where the engineering looked at realaity of today's riding patterns and says the best way to do this is clean simple and adequate - no need for multi cylinder, firebreathing tire scorching yadda yadda yadda -and the folks delivered what was needed!
Glad you are enjoying the magic - the wonders really do never cease do they?
Keep the rubber side down
