Both of our kids loved being on the bikes when they were younger (they were 14 and 9 in this pic from the Black Forest

Youngest is now 21 and he adores his Fazer 600, which he's had since passed his test (a month after his 17th birthday).
He didn't even mind riding around with the 33 bhp restrictors in (for 2 years) - which I totally understand. I can remember loving my Kawasaki 2 stroke triple and even on its best day it never made anything like the power, or torque, that the restricted Faer had.
Personally, I blame the parents these days for not getting kids into biking - the safety nazi's have convinced the majority of them that anything outside and/or fun, is dangerous - FFS, they're even trying to ban tackling in school-rugby cos it's too dangerous! and they're complaining about the dangers of foccing Pokemon Go !
What kind of world do we live in, Eh !!!!
