I cannot agree more. Rather than speed, cheap, comfortable, good old sound and reliability are what I appreciate in a machine these days.

I used to own an ETZ250 years ago, and thought it an excellent bike for the money... 21bhp out of a single cylinder 250cc isn't bad!
You had to keep the revs above 3,000 if you wanted to pull away; changing down being all that was needed. It had a top speed of around 90mph, and would cruise all day at 70mph.
I found it could accelerate faster than most Japanese 250's of that era (about 10 years ago).
I would recommend one to anyone... The later 251 had a small rear wheel, but the 250 with 18" front and rear handled better.
