Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

Only one I saw Atom...
I didn't go down the rabbit hole to chase more.
Just liked how simple and clean it looks.
Can't go wrong with a deep black and bright chrome contrast. Especially when the chrome isn't overdone, it really makes it pop.

The reason bikes were ever baught for us as kids was my Dads bike he road in Texas before Vietnam. Honda 350 Scrambler. I believe that if this bike wasnt baught than there may not have been any hauled home for use as kids. Thanks Dad!

As a bike to ride, especially around corners? Nah!

I understand your position corners wise.

I've seen that one in person or a reproduction in the Glen Curtiss Museum about an hour and half from here! Not sure I would want to ride it at 30 mph! let alone 136 mph!

Here's a picture of the sign in front of that bike from when I was there in 2011. Note that it took him one mile to come to a stop!

Puts me in mind of Royce Creasey and his advocacy of Feet First motorcycles. Was he involved in that Yamaha GTS project?
