This Kawasaki ZL has a parallel twin engine and a surprisingly great fuss free little zippy fun bike to ride everywhere, I mean everywhere. I never even bothered to insure it or worried about it get stolen.
At one time, I even rode it to the World Rally Championship "country stages" thus had to travel many miles of gravel and dusty roads in order to get to the special country stages. At one stage, I felt like I was a World Rally driver minus the speed and the power slides. While it was hair rising, it was light enough around corners without the huge power thus I was able maintain traction most of the time on normal road bias tyres too. In fact, I was more concern with my camera equipment as I was carrying all that camera gear in my backpack.
