Interesting concept.

Looks like those header pipes were made in my garden shed. How much heat would those suckers throw back on your legs in summer!

I'm guessing well over 500 lbs.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

I really like the looks of that a lot! Moving from my ~60hp R90 I could probably live with the 165Hp version. $30k is a little steep, but I love the look and layout. Similar to the Honda 1300 I have lusted over - only - well more.

I wouldn't spring for that kind of cash in any case, but I would also like some good Japanese, everything works right, history.

Who makes that?

Hey - I live in Austin, TX. I should go look at one.

I decided against buying one since there is no dealer in Galt. Even Sacramento doesn't have a dealer.
Ask the Indians what happens when you don't control immigration.

Sounds like a opportunity for you. I will gladly come test ride one if you buy a dealership.
I always brake in corners and think how I am going to get home if I really mess up. When I get home, I wished that I hadn't used my brakes and should have ridden a bit further.
