Don't get me wrong,I used to do that kind of shit all the time on my enduro,of course it was a 1972 MX250 and I was in HIGH SCHOOL!!!
I don't deny the squidliness of those guys, but riding all over the place, including stairs and loading docks is something I would certainly be doing a lot of if I had a 'tard... I'd be jumping medians and tearing through people's yards all the fucking time...

If you ever made it to Jax (and didn't actually hate me ) you could take mine for a spin.

Shoot, and I had heard that those single-cylinder bikes vibrated like a mofo at high RPM

Guess that's why I've never seen the appeal. Maybe it's a regional thing... around here, no tracks, no twisties, no motards. Just can't see spending real money on a bike that limited.

If I wanted that sort of buzziness, I'd get an FZ1.

Agreed.............Just goof-off bikes, not serious commuters. Try going an extended 80-90 mph on one and you'll be hating life. I can't see someone using it as their only bike, unless their commute is only 5 minutes.
