If you spent this much $$ on a bike, would you ride it?

Well if the Mick Duckworth book comes with it, that's $6-7000.00 of the asking price right there! ;D ;D

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

The vac bag? Is that like an inflatable lovemaking device?

Was that color offered overseas ??  Not correct for a US model 72. We had gold, brown, or orange.  Looks more like a 71 red.  ???

Most Harleys go for more than that, so I guess a lot of people would spend that much, then ride it.  Not sure why they'd spend that much, though.

Yes red with gold stripes was one of the colours offered here in NZ.

If I was a person who actually had the money to pony up for that bike, I'd ride the heck out of it.

It is a nice bike, but defenitely overpriced in my opinion. Not sure of the NZ currency rate these days, but this is what you pay for a sandcast. That would be an investment.
This is an "ordinary" 72 model and I would not look twice at it at that price. Much better investment in a CB 750 is no problem.

Sure I would ride this one, but not buy it.
