Yes, I don't see how I could ever sell it. Until about three years ago, it was the only motorcycle I had ever owned. I took my license test on it in 1978. As of the last top end I did for it a couple years ago, it has H2R port timing, intake reeds, big carbs, expansion chambers, and some other goodies, so it is pretty quick. The chassis is tight and in good condition too, so handling is nothing like the folklore would claim.

One of the Australian guys on the triples board had one that he put something like 80,000 miles on... get this... without even changing the top end! He said the pistons were pretty noisy.

Apologies for this latest hijack.
