Got any weird bike interests that you'd never admit to your biking friends ?
Here's mine
Always had a soft spot for them.
Passed my test on a 125 in 1982

I sometimes hanker for smaller bikes. The most fun I had in traffic was on a FS100E loaner - simply wind to the max, point, go and laugh. A bike utterly guaranteed to bring out the hooligan in anyone. And one day I'd like to try the merits of a Honda 50 or 75 as a tourer, ever since meeting a bloke on a ferry with one. I was all tooled up to do northern France and he was touring to Spain and back basically with a spare pair of shreddies and a toothbrush, did it every year I think. My tyre guy is a scooter fanatic and regularly tours Europe on his. And if I recall correctly there's some serious money in scooters...

Cool
I always like the Peugeot Speedfight.
Yamaha made a huge deal out their single sided swingarm front suspension on their GTS, yet here it is, on a scooter and hardly anyone even noticed.
