Pretty unusual, and looks pretty good to me, Polly put the three tea kettles on...

Years ago Bob Steinbugler (Bimota) showed up at the house on a superb example.  I could hear him coming a half mile away (in the city).

He had ridden it from Durham to Richmond.

That's making a splash on the Kawasaki triples board too.  Not stingers though, those are silenced expansion chambers, probably J&R or Bassani.

Neat bike. BIL had one years ago. I told him not to sell, but he " gave" it away for $700!

Aside from the non folding foot pegs, a nice ride. Btw, aren't those pipes worth half the asking price of the bike?

Wow, nice looking bike at a nice price.

Out here on the left coast they'd want 4 times that asking price.

Good thing I've recently done with a 4,000 mile in 4 1/2 day run to pick up a bike.  I'll need until spring to fully recover.

Anybody notice the disclaimer? "Will run with a little work". Right: just how does one determine what amounts to a "little work" on a non running bike?

I've had three GT750's and enjoyed a stock bike the best. Though I still have a set of Nos FPP chambers in my bedroom closet, figured another clean stock bike will come I to my hands again.
