I've been riding 32+ years and my current ride is a 1993 Yamaha TDM 850 that I have owned since 1994 (I love the torque that this engine makes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif). I find it curious that you started this thread onelight, as I was dealer hopping today. While I would really love to build a Street Tracker or something Super Motard, I find that I just can't find the time anymore (unless I get rid of some other hobbies /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif ). The current wish list is:
BMW R1100S Boxer Cup (Graphite & Yellow, outstanding combination. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif )
KTM 950 Adventurer (No longer vaporware, local dealership got one two days ago.)
Buell XB12S Lightning (Glad they finally put the big motor back in. It reduces wear on the front tire, as the tire is rarely on the ground. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )
....and on, and on, and on. Motorcycles and flashlights are light that, you can never have enough and yes, I had a Honda CB750-K4 that I made a cafe racer out of. Fun bike and classic good looks, but why did Honda put the right footpeg further back than the left footpeg (I would find my torso turning to the right as I rode)? Anyway, I corrected that with some home-made rearsets. Well, I want to grab some saddle time tomorrow so I'm going to sign off now. Keep it verticle!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
