    There's no accounting for taste!

    Not sure which forum to put this in. It's not a Harley and there's no separate forum for choppers, so being a road bike I thought I'd stick it in here.

    Now I know it's a Honda Magna 750 v-four in a custom frame but I'm not sure I like it!

    Jus never know what you're going to see in your travels, eh?

    Believe it or not, it is vinned!

    Shhhh! He'll be embarrassed at the messy state of his workshop being seen by millions...! My lips are sealed...

    Not sure who's it is, but I think the steering geometry would make it "interesting" to ride and I don't know how short open pipes got past the Vinning! It's a hard-tail, too. Not my taste, but gotta give credit for someone thinking outside the square and trying something different.

    Did you read my "Running-In" thread?

    It's begging me to take it out for a ride! Every night I come home I just wanna hop on it and ride! Maybe 'cause it's new, I don't know, but it's a completely different animal to the GSX which the new owner picked up on Monday. Was sad to see him ride off so happily on it!

    I reckon the C50T is much more like the old B31 BSA I had as far as riding style and position goes, just lots, (LOTS!), more grunt! It's so relaxing and comfortable, whereas the GSX is, well, a sportsbike, albeit a comfortable one. Really want one of each, as I'll be interested to do the Coro on the Boulevard and note the difference in pace. May not be as much fun around there. Overall, though I think I'm going to love it long time!

    Not a bad effort really, although I personally wouldn't have a hard tail cause I'm such a soft old bugger.

    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    Not a bad effort - just the excess frame hanging down between the engine case and the rear wheel tends to be a bit 'grating' on the eyes.
