This article is a classic, I read it regularly when I need a laugh.

That is a great article. That Suz 400 Cyclone converted my dad to a 125 rider. I remember him saying that the 400 was a hoot in the desert as long as you had the throttle on HARD, otherwise things got scary.

I did laugh, quite outloud! My first real bike (after the Honda 50 mini-trail) was a Hodaka Super Rat, so that tells you that I have lived through the era!

That sounds like it was written by the original, "Monkey Butt". Rick "Super Hunky" Sieman.

I had a 74' Yamaha SC 500 back in 1982 and it sucked! But I wish I had it now. They came with almost nothing for a flywheel that either it kicked back so hard you would think your foot was broken if it didn't start; or it started and you where rewarded a powerband that would take off like a rapped ape but vibrated the bars so bad that you could barely hang on. That bike produced more Flying W's on a trail to only be out done by blowing through countless corners due to crappy brakes that make a Briggs and Stratton powered mini bike look like it had Brembos.

I wondered which CZ they would choose for the list before I even opened it. Not sure why but I wish I still had that old 400

i have a cz 250 enduro (model 988)

i'm still debating on what to do with it. the biggest issue on the cz enduros is the weight - super heavy frame...

Ah yes the good old days. I had a 1969 H-D 125 Rapido same as the Baja only worse. But hey at least I got to ride when ( If)you got it started.

I remember those days. I was bullet proof, jumped every ditch and climbed every hill and had the bike to prove it. I was also miserable when I rode but didn't know it then. Yea today is the good old days.
