Yeah,  that is a beauty.  Do you ride it frequently?  Must draw a crowd wherever you go...Larry

thanks for the comments, i only take it out every few weeks to move a bit of oil around the engine on the back streets near home as its not registered,  have to say  it struggles a bit with my 130kg's as its the smaller 250cc ..    still,  all in all i love it, it's so different to my other bikes.    ken

ken,
Is it only a collectors item,or do you think you'll use it more often ? They're a Great touring bike for 1 day 1-up riding.

gday, at the moment its more a collectors item ,  what i found is that the way people drive their cars around these days  it's either hard accelerating or hard braking, it just cant keep up with the traffic flow and the brakes arent super duper either .   but i do enjoy my little trips around the quiet back streets occasionally,,  ken
