    I had a Honda CB750. It had so little ground clearance you could easily scrape the stand (or whatever it was) cornering in the wet if you had a passenger. It was my only means of transport at the time, and I can remember the front brake caliper seizing up from road salt. Actually it was not so much the caliper as its pivot on the fork, as the front brake only has one piston. I can't say that I loved that bike. I got a Kawasaki 900cc after the Honda, and that bike I did love!
