After a 3 hp Briggs and Stratton minibike, my first real bike was a 1973 Hodaka Super Rat. I saved up enough to buy a new Honda XR75 and was on the way to the Honda dealer with my dad to pick it up, when I asked if we could stop at the Kawasaki dealer on the way, just to take a look around. They had a new Super Rat in the corner. I rationalized that a 100cc two-stroke would be much faster than a 75cc four-stroke, so I bought it instead of the Honda. I'm still kicking myself for that stupid mistake!
