I October I bought a 1987 Honda Z50R. I have a blast every time I ride it. It is not what you would call peppy. If you keep it in the yard you can't really get into 2nd gear. Just putt around in first. Grass is soft.
I don't know what sort of cat-like reflexes are needed to stay alive riding a street bike in Pinellas county.
Big street bikes + lots of traffic = Natural Selection
