But if you remember, reminiscent of when the R3 started appearing, first with "spy" photos, then actual sightings, then somebody actually touching one. The R3 caused all manner of pro/con bru-ha, or more accurately bru-ha-ha (ha) & entertainment. Rumour has it, like the T-Bird, some folks in this neighborhood own one .
My T-Bird experience doesn't go beyond sitting on one at the Spokane dealer last summer. The motorbike sure interests me. Does it interest me enough to overcome the price differential? I don't know. Of course my m/c endorsement has only been valid for British 800 cc since 1976, so that might be the deal breaker.....
What remains an undebateable constant however is the even-tempered, well-considered view exemplified by '02 Cardinal Red BA owners 'round the world. Go figure, what are the odds?
Then again 1600 cc ...................
