Never owned a proper one (back in the day my 2-stroke was a Vespa! ) but a few mates had GT250, RD350, KR1-S (Kwak 250) and RG250. Ah just the thought of it brings back the smell - happy days!
Compared to the gen 1 Fazer they were down on power on paper, but in reality it was like strapping yourself to a firework. The only time I've experienced the same "wait-for-it......waaaaaa!" was when a mate let me try his R1. Tiny bike, big power but all at the top. It was like star trek where you see the stars gently floating by and then warp drive kicks in!
