Yep, those '70s Japanese bike weren't what you'd call good handlers, were they? I had a Honda CD200 briefly, I needed something to get me to work and pass the test on and my Tiger Cub just wasn't up to the job. It was almost entirely unable to go round a corner at anything other than cruising speed. Still, at least it was reliable, which is more than could be said for the Tiger Cub that came before it or the Bonneville that came after it!
