Thanks Brat, lookin' forward to the photos. I've got an '83 model 600 Pantah (red one) sitting in a few pieces at home. Bought that back in '93 from the old and now defunct 'Phil Beaumont Motorcycles' in Brissie.
I asked for a test ride but as soon as the Rep started the thing I knew I'd buy it... The ride didn't matter - I fell in love with the noise!
I had enough money for the Pantah but not the $9K asking price for the 'Hailwood replica' alongside; pity coz the Hailwoods price has gorn through the roof whereas Pantahs remain static.
Hey tell me, is 'Doctor Desmo' still a goer in Adelaide?
