Btw George, you would LOVE to see my best bud's collection of bikes in SoCal. He's recently gotten into the Vintage Japanese market now too, and has added to his collection of Brit, Italian, German and American machines some absolutely pristine bone-stock and low-mileage examples of:

A blue 1970 Honda CB750 KO

A rootbeer brown and orange 1974 Kawasaki Z1 900cc

A yellow gold 1970 Yamaha XS-1 650cc (after 1970, known as the XS650)

A blue and white 1980 Suzuki GS1000S (sometimes referred to as the "Wes Cooley Model")

A purple 1974 Kawasaki H2 750cc

A red 1966 Honda CA77 305cc Dream

(...and I know I'm forgetting a few others here)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
