@Rover - I miss my RD also but it started to smoke just like your photo but at idle. My last bike was handmade American but now I ride this with Campy and Dura Ace components, 16 spokes in the front and 18 in back.

I wondered about this subject and how many baiters ride...

I had a Suzuki GT 250 in 1976, then bought a used GT 750 (known as the water buffalo) in 1979 - 1980. [It is a two stroke water cooled monster.] Had kids, got back to riding in 2002 with a Victory Classic Cruiser with a Stage one upgrade.

Not riding yet, still healing from a non motorcycle injury. I will ride if the temperature is above 40* F. Cool

Nice ride!

I think the response thus far is good. I used to own a couple of the bikes talked about here. I started with a Honda 90, graduated to a Honda CL 360, had a Honda Elisnore 125 racing bike (crashed and burned on that one), then a Honda CB550, Honda V45 Magna, Suzuki 1400 Intruder, 1976 Harley Sportster(total piece of crap), Suzuki 800 Intruder, and now the Harley Softail. I love riding. It is second only to scambaiting now........

Can't resist posting that it's really cool to see all of these lovely 2-wheeled machines, whether they have engines or not! Pure beauty! If anyone here would be interested in a great deal on a brand new Fuji bicycle, PM me and maybe we can do a deal. (www.fujibikes.com will send you to the catalog. Probably won't be worth it to anyone outside the US, but if you want a really high$$ bike, you might want to contact me!)

Ride on!

I have never ridden my 1976 Honda 550F much. Less than 5,500 miles since new. SamSpudz is right, sharing the roads with cars is too dangerous.

LOL I have a '74 550/4 - Orange. Parked it up a few years ago after the cam chain tensioner went at 160kph - still was running but desperately needs a rebuild. But of a heavy bike with a far too high COG but fun. Also have a BSA B25 Starfire (parked up too).

@ Rover -My first bike was a 1977 RD 400. The injector pump gave out and I melted a piston on a long ride.

Currently have an '84 Honda CB750K but don't ride it much. Also rebuilding a '66 Suzuki X-6 Hustler. In the market for a Vulcan.

I had one just like that before this one. Performance very similar, but the older model was much better looking. Specially the 4 exhaust pipes.

My RD was a 1984 LC YPVS - It was a speed daemon of note - After that I got a XJ-750 Seeker (Another Yamaha) - Since those days I have not ridden that much - I do prefer off-road though

Well actually the one I had was a "500", just like the one in this picture:

According to Honda, they replaced this model with the 550, which had more power and bigger tires. Still, I preferred the older one. But the 550 is up to this day a fine motorcycle.

I swear, That looks like my husbands butt in that pic. Shocked

Joaquin, You have a PM!

Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:04 pm

I have not heard from Joaquin.
If that isn't my husband, I will fall over. His jeans, shirt, and even the belt.
He also stands just like him.
Doesn't he have cute buns? Wink

BTW, How come I could not edit that last post? Confused

Wait, Wait, How much money? Smile

I usually offer between $50,000 - $100,000 per month, per wife.

Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:15 pm

@CL : PM'd you all the info. But don't worry, all offers received at that show were for the bike.

Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:24 pm

I will think about this Radden. I have some forms for you to fill out and lots of questions. Laughing

Thank you, Joaquin! Lots of ladies would bid on that butt. I am glad it wasn't up for bids. You know your spouse's buns. Wink

With the fund I will soon receive from Chuck Soludo I will be able to pay the price ... As long as I don't have to live with all of them at the same time. I can't stand the crap I have to take from only one wife.

OK postwhores......back on topic! Laughing

I drive everything on the road but motorcycles and semi trucks. Hopefully, the motorcycles will be changing in a month when I move to Florida, and it becomes a more practical vehicle for me. I've always wanted one. So for now, I am a motorcycle rider in spirit.

that has to count for something.

EDITED SIX HOURS LATER: C'mon, the wait for an answer on that is killing me...

Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2007 12:10 pm

Yes Hugh that counts. A rider in spirit is only one step below a rider, and 7 steps above a non-rider. ( not that it really matters Smile

)

If you're in Florida during Daytona bike week, I suggest you check it out. Before you leave, you will know which type of bike you want.

I had one of these when I was sixteen:
BSA Bantam D1

Co owned one of these for a while in my late 20's. But never really took to it. Expensive too!: Shocked
