Nice machines, funny thing when I was a boy a "dirt" bike was a 250-350cc.
Then again a large road bike was a 750cc.
Good lord when Honda introduced the 1000cc GoldWing that thing was a monstrosity.

Not really, both Norton and Triumph had 650cc and 750cc dirt bikes in the mid 60s. I do use the dirt bike term loosely. Norton had the P11 (750cc) and Triumph had the T100 (500cc) and TR6 (650cc)

And I'd dread to think what would happen if I tried to actually use my Tiger955i in the dirt
I took the Road Less Travelled.
Now where the ****** am I?

I remember when I was told about the first 1200cc bike, I was literally is disbelief. I didn't believe my friend until we went and saw it. I couldn't wrap my head around such a big engine in a motorcycle! Now it isn't even a big bike.
