Why you all like such heavy metal bikes, which needs so much power just to get rolling, and all of them have a big fear of curves and turns ;-) ??????
I just like my little small 600cc bike, although 10 years old but still fast and aktive enough.....
I think the 600cc bikes are perfect for 98% of society. My Suzuki 1983 GS750ES pre-dates any 600, and my size might find one straining to get me around. I do agree though, the new 600cc bikes are phenomenal. I still have my Suzuki and is is in excellent shape. It only weighted 40 lbs more than my 1975 CB400F Honda (which I also still have). As I said, that jet bike is a "pig" of a motorcycle.
My bike is a spitting image of the one below , I even have the same Lockhart lower fairing pieces which are next to impossible to get. Mine is the Silver/Blue combination not white/red, and I did not paint the rims like this person has, it is starting to look like I may though, maybe next year. I love this bike, and in Connecticut's windy roads, I still have many people trying to keep up with me in the back country roads. I purchased both bikes new.
My CB400F looks similar to this one. Kaz Yoshima made the pipes and turned my carbs into smooth bores, my brother in-law new him. My CB400F is now 456cc's, has the Yoshima X3 race engine in it. I was clocked at 135 mph on it. The bike rev's easily up to 15000 r.p.m.'s. It now weighs almost nothing because of everything that was removed. I purchased it new in 1976 and rebuilt in in 1978. I used to smoke 1000 c.c. motorcycles with it, but you had to rev the engine really high up. It is slowly coming apart,as I am restoring it, cosmetically, it only has 11,000 miles on the rebuilt motor.
I would like to get this bike (pic below) if I had the money, 1250 c.c.'s! A $12,000 dollars though, I'll wait for a used one, if at all!
