This is basically me with my new motorcycle

Look at it! It’s so pretty!

i don't think you can cycle with that, very much false advertising

Cycle as in life and death cycle. You can speed run it with these things if you have enough balls to drive it how it's meant to be driven.

Very pretty. I don't recognize the make. Looks like a right leany gas sipper. What's your displacement?

It’s just a wee little thing, it’s a 2025 Kawasaki W230, 233cc and 17 horsepower, air cooled single cylinder. It hasn’t been selling well in the US/Canada market because almost everyone wants bigger, louder, more powerful bikes, but I love it for being a simple little machine.

Sounds perfect for in town or country rides. It's more fun to wring a little bike's neck than to constantly have to hold back a big bike. I've done both. There's almost nowhere to open up a really fast bike. Light and nimble is more fun.
