Saw that...pretty interesting that the 360 had the top speed advantage.  The 360 in the video was identical with the first bike i rode significantly...might have to get another

One thing he didn't cover. How will that 300 fair in 45 years?  Plastic doesn't age well.

I think one of them was my first bike back in the early 1990's. Rode it from Watsonville to San Francisco for the Bill Graham memorial concert on the polo field. What a trip!
Thanks for the link, fan man.

 I had a year old 73 500 k2 and my wife wanted to ride. I unselfishly proposed trading the 500 in on two 360's. The dealer said he would sell me one 360 and trade the second one even for the 500. Well, why would I do that? No F'n way. I said I'd buy her a 360 and keep my 500. What happened instead was I saw a used touring cb750 for sale priced right so I bought it and gave her the 500. Win, win!  We both ended up with 4 cyl bikes.
