    But stock for the sake of originality doesn't make for a very pleasant ride. The other one you posted will probably disappear into a collection.
    Yeah he's a bit of a skunk with that description. Skim read it and you'd forgivably think it was an SN.
    I had a shafty 11 with CBR brakes as my tourer hack. Grouse bike until you were riding with others and getting a push on. Nothing 20 years of chassis development wouldn't fix I always thought.

    Replaced it with an RF900 for that reason. Underrated bike they all say. Spent ages trying to make it what it should have been. GS wobbled more but was a far more lovable bike. RF was the reason 90s Suzukis sucked. Goats.

    In fact I'd rather have one of these.

    Even has a graze for street cred.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    You too can escape from day to day drudgery like Steve McQueen in the Great Escape.*

    Note- the bike used was a post war Tr6, Steve McQueen did not do the actual jump but was one of the chase German bikes.

    By "Limited Edition Bonneville T100 Steve McQueen " do they really mean "We painted it green"?
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    I can't say that's 12k worth of I think I'll pop out to the coffeeshop one Sunday a year to meet Harold on his Chief Big Sitting Down Indian.

    not on the radar here as they were never imported and sold new. there's a few around the place all the same.

    There's a chap in Hamilton who ran an engineering business had one boxed up with zero k's, along with a Ducati 851 with zero k's too. Also a fully refurbished early E-type. Don't know if he still has them.
