in my case, the only other street bike that I've ridden/owned is my 1988 Honda Hawk GT. Previously my exposure to bikes is rooted in off-road machines of another era. I spent a fair amount of time on the following bikes:
1969 Honda Z50
1973 Honda XR75
1977 Honda XR75
1971 Kawasaki Centurion G31-M (100cc)
1977 Suzuki RM100
1973 Yamaha MX125
You know Guth...that background makes for a really good street rider. Youve felt what it is like to have a front end push, or a back end come around, and when youve experienced that in the dirt, its not as scarey when it happens on the street.
I always felt my street riding made me a better MotoX racer, and my MotoX racing made me a better street rider
