Ugly but I would still own one
Whats this machine bones? It certainly looks a bit different but I dont mind that look.
I would have a K1 no problems. An iconic bike. But then, I once owned a CX500. I would have one of them again too actually. Here is a picture of me, albeit smaller, shorter and younger me, the bike in question and my girlfriend who just flew over to meet up with me in her vintage plane. I gotta way with the women. I am not sure what that guy in the background is doing to the plane, should have told him to fuck off...
CX500 , known in the UK as "the plastic maggot" way back then.
The first rendition was mechanically suspect to say the least ( very un-Honda at the time)
The later versions were bulletproof reliable for gazillions of miles , most CX 500 ended up as despatch riders mounts until death.
There were shops in London that worked on nothing else , keeping despatch riders mobile."Donor" bikes out the back !
Then came the more recent "café racer" wankfest ( IMO) that removed more CX500's from the roster of originals.
Frankly they were/are even UGLIER if that was possible..
I’m sorry but the Ducati 999 and 749 bikes are works of art! Beautiful bikes! But then they do say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. I’m looking for a 999s after regretfully selling my 749s for a camper trailer a couple of years back ??
Agree, can’t argue with that FC.
Big improvement Speedster!! & you don't need a hood to cover up that old VW motor!
Cooling it properly wouldn't have been easy. Probably more power than the original VW though.
Fuck that is one ugly motherfucker. Up there in the top numbers.How do you know all these ugly mothers.
