For my first bike I could have bought a TS250 Supa 5. It had great reviews, but I got a CD200 instead. The MZ was too alien, too ugly, too freakish. And it sounded horrible. The Honda felt unthreatening. It purred. Even the MZ toolkit scared me, because it was so good. I thought it was a sign that MZ owners had to work on their bikes, whereas Japanese toolkits could be unused forever. The MZ seemed like something for an experienced biker.
