The Knight Rider?
I have use of a 1200 bandit and its great.Thinking about getting a 2007 Suzuki GSF650 Bandit. Good or bad idea?
I always liked the simple Bandit concept. Semi sporty standard? Maybe I am just retro.I have use of a 1200 bandit and its great.
Got this one - not set up for racing though - still a fun rideView attachment 213061I have never been a "Harley" guy but an old flathead might be fun. There is babes and bikes. There is "Let's see the XSs". That is all good Many of our "Taste in Bikes" stems from previous marques. Is it OK to share interesting older bikes?

I've watched a few of his videos and that guy is in no way a mechanic or machinist, he is flat out an artist who happens to work in aluminum and steel instead of marble or oil paints!Allen Millyard built v12 Kawasaki. He's a mad scientist and he always makes things look like they came stock that way.

It's amazing to me how he can just hack pieces off of a spare motor and graft them onto the other, and make it look like it belonged there all along.I've watched a few of his videos and that guy is in no way a mechanic or machinist, he is flat out an artist who happens to work in aluminum and steel instead of marble or oil paints!
And he does it in a garage with very few machine tools, I think he has a press and a pillar drill, but oodles of ingenuity. Often a guest on Henry Cole's programs and the thing you notice about Millyard around other people is how modest and even shy he is.It's amazing to me how he can just hack pieces off of a spare motor and graft them onto the other, and make it look like it belonged there all along.
l lusted after one of these as a lad......... Bloomin' expensive in Blighty tho'A bike from the 1970s with a unique appeal - it was an exotic Italian, a pocket rocket which was said to punch above its weight, sometimes called a 350cc superbike at a time when mainstream bikes were getting bigger and heavier. I saw a few around and even visited a dealer in Edinburgh who sold them but I didn't buy one and never rode one.

The Sport version of the Moto Morini 3½ looked to be a lovely little bike, clip-ons, rear-sets, seat hump, a factory Café racer.
Don't I wish. With that super low COG, it'd be a great handling machine.
I remember when they were released, absolutely gorgeous bike, I want one!A bike from the 1970s with a unique appeal - it was an exotic Italian, a pocket rocket which was said to punch above its weight, sometimes called a 350cc superbike at a time when mainstream bikes were getting bigger and heavier.

Agreed, but a friend has one painted Safety Orange. Talk about a head-turner!Not BMW's greatest moment? Hey, taste is personal . . .
