Thanks, it's a blast to ride. What's wild is how "before it's time" that bike is. Even though it's now 10 years old, I've had people tell me 'wow, it rides like my R1.'

I voted Sport touring. I currently ride a Ninja 650r (attached)

I've had a FZ700, two gsxr 750's and misc. dirt bikes.

now i'm back on good ol' F bikes. the one above is actually a 1100 with 750 side covers.
made from 79-83 the f bikes are the grand daddy of super bikes.
like ducati's they are more nimble then others. make them a batter track bike then a drag bike.
the big brother to the 1100f is the 1100r stockin a whopping 120hp not bad for 1983


Freddie Spencer made these bikes famous in the early 80's when he won 2 out of every 3 races

modified bike with a 1100 engine


granted these won't keep up with today's standards.
but they are cheap to work on.

I'm surprised there's not more cruiser fans on here.
