It is unbelievable!

How about the modern version? My 2014 CB 1100?

1140cc, FI, ABS, hydraulic clutch, black steel frame, chrome fenders, no spokes, triple discs, 6 speed trans, good tires, good handling ..still has the boardy seat though, , lol

That is sweet looking... rear tire could be a little wider, but sweet nontheless

I'm finding this Triumph 900 Scrambler to be working well for me as a neo classic., As a 2007 it is old enough to be carbureted and air-cooled for simplicity, but still modern enough that it is not a chore to live with. Since selling the R75/6 and the R1200GS, I have missed not having an unfaired bike for the dog days of summer.

My riding buddy had one of those. From what I remember what a sweet running bike.

Yeah, but ignorance was bliss at the time, wasn't it?

I had a truck load of that.

In the mid 60's in Lubbock there were several places that rented small 2 strokes to anyone. A license wasn't required at that time. By the early 70's everyone had a bike. Those were good times.

My last year in high school, 1969, we had 60 or so bikes of all sorts in the designated parking area on nice days. But...it was a large school at the time, our graduating class alone had 254 students.
Driving by the local hs now, there are five or fewer.

^Instead, the parking lot is full of new or nearly new Audi, Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Acura, etc. Quite eye opening the amount that many parents spend on their kids, and the luxuries they're given (not earned).
