This is a great comment because in my motorcycle group of roughly ~60 or 70 people over the years, maybe 25% have owned a Miata. Apparently the motorcycle+miata crossover is huge. Usually along with an SV650 or DRZ at some point as well.

I never had a Miata but I did buy a DRZ and have a blast on it for about 4 hours. The following morning it wouldn't start and after spending all the time I was willing to spend on doing valves/carb/etc, I decided that the 450 kit was to blame, so I just traded it for a 2stroke! I do hope a sumo will be in my future now that I live in a city, though.

Good luck on your Miata endeavors, I'm sure you wont regret it!

Going fast is all about power/weight. Some gear heads love changing the numerator. Some realize that the best option is to change the denominator. :)

There is no amount of power or setup that will make a heavy car handle lightly. Physics.

And until a person has driven something in the Miata or lighter category, they don't know what they're missing.
