You too can own this for as little as $48k.



At 180 hp it kind of seems worth it. ;D

They had one of these (for $43k) on the showroom floor sitting next to my (shortly there-after) Duc. It's still there. On the other side of my bike was this (see below) .... price tagged at $72k. Beautiful like an Italian supermodel should be - sounds AMAZING - and fast as a blinding terror ... but (to me) not worth the money.

 I think round indicators and tail lights are early German or French models, up until 1974~75 (forget which)
 Britain had larger indicators and taillight from 68~69 on, never saw that style except in Europe (Britain is 'different'  ;D)
