[QUOTE=x88x;322501]Heheh, another one joins the dark side. Here, have a cookie.
Looks like not the fastest thing in the world (according to the internet it should be about equivalent to a modern 250cc 4-stroke), but should be a great first bike. And the curb weight is awesome! Makes it a lot easier to catch it if it starts to lay itself down it low speeds. Great price too; is it in fully working condition? I love the look of the 70's-80's cruisers (thus why I have two of them). Plus, if your state has similar rules to MD, it should be a lot cheaper and easier to register it since it's a historic vehicle. Have you gotten your endorsement yet?[/QUOT
its a 15.5hp motor but i figure i could always get a different tone or beef that one up later down the road. the only thing he said it needed was tires and plugs maybe. the compression is good on it. the insurance and all that will be a hell of alot cheaper.
