    even then they progressed and changed models over time, and the evolution can be shown and admired

    It's not like it became a classic. I'd rather have one each of the current H2 models.

    Oh yes it is. Historically significant and the one most Z1 nutters want.

    There were only 21 genuine ELR's built so the turbo is an achievable goal.

    Obviously I'm not a Z1 nutter! I remember the reviews when the first model came out, and they weren't exactly complimentary.

    It's inherent in us to reminisce while omitting the reality of how it used to be.

    I have ridden a few old bikes like the ones I had as a youngster, and most of them, while dead cool, were pretty awful compared to modern bikes.

    Every now and then I'm tempted to buy an old 2-stroke, but unless it was something like a RG500, I'm sure I'd be disappointed.

    I do know someone who might be selling one though...
