    I was in Germany a few days ago and went to a motorcycle gear and accessories store.

    I found this in there: a wind tunnel to test gear on an actual bike.

    That is so cool in two ways. An XJ of course and to test the gear in the wind. I have never seen a wind tunnel like that around here.Did you make an offer on the bike?

    Is this a European model, or something we got in North America? Never seen it before!

    I think the round light came out in '85. The 900 left the N.A. market after the '84 model year.

    I like! Especially the paint detail on top of the triple gauges. Naked sports are for me!
