I liken them to motorized skateboards with their tiny little wheels. A bud of mine has a Vespa250, loves it, he says, but still likes to ride my bikes. I used to have a mid-90's Honda Nighthawk 750 and he loved it, too, although it took a little out-of-the-box thinking to get him on it. He's a small dude, and he he could not get both feet on the ground, so when he came to a stop, he tilted slightly to the right and got a toe on the ground, but at that point, he couldn't get the kickstand down. We came up with a tool for him to use, a piece of PVC pipe about 20 inches long that he would bungee cord to the handlebars and use to get the stand down. He and his SO are coming out to TX next summer for a visit and was wondering if he could ride my CB1100. I'm a little nervous about that. The CB is a little bigger than the Nighthawk, so I'm not so sure he could do it and may end up dropping it.
