I had bought into ABS early on with BMW so not having it available was a deal breaker for me. Really nice bike!

:laugh: I just noticed the $7K selling price . Crazy thing is , while it won't sell for anywhere near that price , it would be hard to purchase a largish touring bike that will go, handle , and run another 100K miles , and look as nice while doing so as this bike for the money . Oh well , cheap used MG's keep us frugal types happy :grin:

Post by: Roebling3 on May 10, 2017, 01:50:53 PM: Cripes, TT; It may smell like a new bike. It's hard to imagine C. Peterson, or myself, on that flash bike but its loveliness is undeniable. Just remember Chuck: It's not Giro acceptable. R3~

Maybe I'll throw away the bags and fairing, cut off the rear fender, turn the handlebars upside down and call it a cafe....

Install a 125cc motor and go moto giro?

Surely I can find some other purpose for it...dual sport tires? I mean, it's got to be good for something...

Maybe our friend Gootsy whatever will buy it, dump another $7k into it, then sell it and get $7k for it shocking us all.
