"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

1. I love these 750s with 80s/90s gsxr/cbr rear and fronts. I think they are just as robust as the motor and the smaller wheels help.
2. I love that headlight, its looks mean on the bike, I dont care for the hand bars, love the pipes.
3. its just cool
4. this is the bike that inspired my mix and match build, black tank, covers, tank strip, wheels, nice header that runs parallel with the frame. Im not a fan of tiny seats.
5. I love street versions of rickmans/ahrma bikes, thats kinda my dream race bike right there. yum.
6. i dig the vintage yellow race bikes
7. that blue is killer and that belly pan is slick.
