I think we all like to see and feel the engine running, and AJ I think your dad is doing you a favor, and has more than likely had first hand experience,I think that the favorite of mine was the 1977 XS1100 yamaha standard, heavy and power full, and the most dangerous was the H-1 Kaw. 500 triple two stroke with a set of Denco Chambers only did one thing good, wheelies and FAST, wont stop or turn,every time I road it I saw my life pass before my eyes, had to sell it. Hey Matchless love that old CB350 they are finly starting to get scarce, is that your 750 also? if you guys want to see something really rare go to e-bay under M/C's and BSA and there is a bsa A-10 650 pre-unit twin that is made into a factory looking twin engine 4 cyld. ( 2 engs. side by side) its now at $7,500, Hey Lynn that was what was called A Water Buffalo, SUZ. H20, very rare now, and Fred if what you mean by Exotic that the bike kicks you back so hard that,you refer to the first cold start as a Mo%4### F&8%$#, then He-- I got exotic up the Butt!!!
