I'm pretty sure it was only done on the early XLV750 for Europe,but we never got that model so I wouldn't know squat.It'd look great on an XR600 though - hey,my TLR200 has the red/white/blue paint job,maybe I should do the engine and hubs in red....nah,then I'd have to do the XLV750 to match!

I like sportbikes - nothing else does it for me.

I don't really favour one manufacturer over another because they all put out great bikes. The last 5 years have pumped out some very nice looking machines, but I still think the rice burners look just as beautiful as anything three times their price in the Ducati, Aprilia, or Augusta range!

Currently I have a thing for CBR's.

I may be slightly biased, but the new R1 is the best looking bike I've ever seen... Now, don't get me wrong, I'd bloody love to own a F4, Ducati 999 or an Aprilia RSVR Factory, but, imho, none of them look as good as the R1.

I mean, what are Ducati doing with their headlights? They just don't do it for me.

I always thought there was something sexy about the rc45 vfr honda
IT looks so damb race ready and sounds so hot.

**Cajun** · 13th August 2004, 07:52

Here`s the one I mean mate,found this on a specialist dealer`s site with 3 others the same,called the "XL600M Paris Dakar" apparently

NR750 definitely was cool back in 1992.

**merv** · 13th August 2004, 13:17

Damn I guess we all missed this http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/ne...es/rockshow04/

I need to find some sucker to sponsor me on a visit to Barber Museum as a learning experience instead.

I waited 10 looong years untill a Guzzi Daytona was in my price range.
How long will it take for the MV F4 comes down to around 15 grand, I am a patient man....
