Add 5th as well.......or at least that's how it felt it was threatening to at speed. The RPM point the front end would lift at always seemed to take you by surprise. It was as if a supercharged kicked in - it would happen so fast too. An ungodly quick bike.

The Suzuki 400cc single cylinder 2-stroke dirtbike of the day had such quick acceleration - the metal footpegs your feet were planted on would fold back under full throttle. Scary bikes to me at the time.

I was fortunate to ride anything that came in for service to the Honda, Kawasaki dealer I worked at back then.
