Took a while to get through the pop-up ads, etc, but it was a pretty good read. Some of the bikes are of course very unique, but I found the Kawi triples the coolest of the lot. My one experience ( back in the '70's ) on my buddy's 750-- hop on, roll throttle on in 3rd, freak out because front wheel comes off the ground. Look at speedometer, and realize it took you about a city block to hit speeds you never intended to hit. Was sorta fun, but too unpredictable for me.79 F

After reading through most of it, I gave up! The idiots are busy knocking old bikes for handling, etc. even though they were from the 30's to early 70's! Come on, we all know the early bikes will NEVER handle like the "new" bikes, but if your an idiot rider, and don't know HOW TO RIDE A REAL MOTORCYCLE then you probably shouldn't post the fact so everyone else knows how bad you are!
