I was at the dealers and saw one of the new FZ07's (MT07). Nice bike. Caught an article in one of the mags about Yamaha's new "entry level" machine. Looking at the spec's I see 74 horsepower, 397 pounds wet. Entry Level?? WTF? I just checked the spec's on my old '92 750 H2 Kawasaki. It was listed at 74 horsepower, 419 pounds...and, oh yeah, it was advertised as "the fastest accelerating production motorcycle in the WORLD!!" All the magazines at the time called it the "expert's machine" (and widowmaker, etc. etc.), now an ENTRY level machine has the same power, less weight? I know I'm getting old, but it looks to this old boy that the Mark 1, Type 1 Homo Sapiens has not changed a bit in the last forty years, yet the bikes......sheesh. I guess I'm glad I wasn't making my "entry" into motorcycles today. I would have done myself in on my H2 as a first bike, 'cause in those days they only had one speed, as far as the right grip would turn . Weird stuff!
