    sheeeeeert dave, lay off the weed man... what I was saying is by fuck they handle and brake like a weapon... a 350 once left me at bay 0n the 1100 in the twisties, correct that are gutless but fucking fun and faultless bikes (excepting the 4v head bikes they were fast but not for very long)

    I'd have thought the market for that would have shrunk with the Comancheros taken down

    Quite possibly a number of HD's coming up for auction soon which must depress the market.

    I believe there are many parallels between the people who buy blingy "Special Edition" Ducatis and blingy (which is all of them) Harleys.

    Maybe if riding on an endless superslab highway in the US the sound system may have a place.

    Agreed. Plus a carb rebuild.

    I'd rather have the first model with the 4LS front brake. While probably not as good as the disk, it looked far more unique

    I had one of those back when they were a 500 dollar bike, a friend bought a disc version for 300, both good runners, mid eighties

    Very nice smooth motor

    I wanted to ride one, I have in my mind how they must feel from the noise and old suzuki ethos. A mate rode one back in the day and said it was just dreadful. I'll prefer Kicks account as that suits my mental narrative and I'm unlikely to have keys put in my hand.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
