I love these! The left-side kicker is the cherry on top (my X6 Suzukis had it too). Makes for delightful side-saddle takeoffs. The Metralla is high on the list of best bikes I ever owned, on par with the ’80 Ducati 900SSD and ’70 TR6R. It was a little hairy in strong sidewinds on the highway, though. A couple of times it felt me and the bike would be lifted over the rail of the Oakland Bay Bridge.
