A fellow motorcyclist enthusiast from the kawi 2 stroke forum is selling one of his cycles. He always has very nice stuff :seasix:

damn, that is nice. I think I am going to end up on a dirt for now, better to learn where the only obstacle is a tree and not moving objects (like cars).

I've had trees jump out in front of me riding dirtbike thru the woods. :lol:

Yeah, I took my '66 honda to a car show once....about 20 miles away. Somehow I thought it would be just fine to take it on the freeway.

never. again.....ever.

You just needed something a little bigger to flow with traffic. That 250 is actually pretty snappy ( Buddy brought it to Deal's Gap one year for the triple forum meet-- surprised more than a few people with it )

I wouldn't mind another vintage bike.....mine was fun, but I knew I could only have one, and I still had the itch to get back on the trails, so a dirtbike replaced it.

One of these days I'll have that nice 4 stall garage and a sweet little collection of bikes. :D:D

My former uncle wanted me to get a V-Max for my first motorcycle. Fastest bike on he road at that time.

looks like that vintage bike look is coming back in style (and unfortunately, that means 'mainstream'.)

The new triumphs look like the older ones but start easier ( fuel injected ) and don't drool oil :hurray:

If that's a CL175 Honda, it's the exact same as my brother had as a kid, even the color. What's it worth today. I'm looking at the scuffed piston from it right now!
