I’m pretty sure they didn’t cover these skills in the MSF course…

1. The “Kiyonari fishtail” – how to drift the back end in extremely wet conditions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KycZk1M7g24
2. The “Valentino Rossi salute” – how to flip people off while putting a knee down in a corner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LqxSPacPRM

Please don’t feed the animal.

Some older models have two-stroke engines, but most are now going toward four-stroke single cyllinder engines. CCs run the gamut, but this one is probably in the 125-300cc range.
They are all super light. The Gas Gas 300cc with 4-stroke with 6-speed only weighs 150lbs. Gas tank holds less than a gallon, so you’ll need to have a short commute! -
