Slapper?
Reminds me of how lucky i was to have an old man who had first an 860 followed by a 78 900SS then an 80 900SS,can still hear them going through the valley on the way up to the old Conway store.Originally Posted by Dazza
I'll second that, sorta makes me miss my S2 with the Vee Two engine

Well I ended up with one, pity I can't ride it at the moment because of some shoulder surgery

Here's mine, bought it in Sydney in 1986.
Had it painted in '88 and bottom end done in '99.
Was unused from '88 to '04.
Stock ( as far as I know) apart from Staintunes and shocks.
Was probably originally red/white and is a 78 model.
Get strange looks these days kicking over a 900 (easy actually).
Top end could do with a makeover...
I'll wait till it stops.
Good points: very stable, very loud, sets off car alarms, fast enough for me.
Bad Points: um..............did 800km in one day, going from Sydney to Adelaide....not the most comfortable touring bike .....

I did two 1600 km runs on mine 19-1/2 hours each time(which had the later seat) the biggest pain was the short fuel range
Can't see that happeningSend it down here i will keep the wheels rolling till your better.by the time I can ride it again the Ohlins rear shocks should be on it and maybe the emulators in the front

In the mid '70s Kevin Bock motorcycles in Upper Hutt had a 450 sitting in the window for ages waiting to be bought. It was there so long the paint was faded on the outward facing side - no-one wanted Ducatis when you could get japanese reliability for a better price.
My mate Grant Smith bought a 750GT, the gold and black one and then as soon as they became available, traded it on a green frame 750SS. That would be a most desirable item today.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Very easy - the 750 was a doddle to kick start in the seat.
