A perfect way to cure a sleepless night? I think so. The three of us started riding on the roads until we soon released some things were better done off them. Nevertheless, road riding is the most accessible way for most of us to enjoy the pure excitement of riding. The feeling of speed, freedom, zen or just the ascetics. This SR500 by Lossa engineering of long beach, in my view, captures all the key elements of what we love about riding. It may look just like a painted up 40yo yama, but check out the specs...
