    FZ6R. Got mine last week while the Seca was out of service. Love it. Took me 4 days to get pulled over.

    A friend bought one of these, it was like $3500 brand new with sidecar.
    Talk about dated technology. :lol:
    Ultra simple to work on though.
    The electric start is crap, it comes off a tractor.
    No need to worry about parts just weld it up or go to tractor supply.
    This guy has stripped the electric and cobbed it up to a small 12v battery in the trunk of the side car.
    All the Wheels/tires are the same size, so the spare fits anywhere on the bike.
    The wheels have one large hand tightened nut so no tools are needed for a tire change
    He works construction and loads all his tools into the sidecar, rides 10 months a year. :D

    Gotta say, one of my friends has a 2 year old Fat Bob in denim black with reinhart exhaust and no chrome. Darn fine looking bike. I would actually consider riding that Harley.

    I can build a sweet bobber/street/race bike. I want a new Victory Vision hands down.

    that xjr1300 is one fine looking machine. nothing like a naked bike. can only imagine what a triple xjr1300 might look like.

    BMW is coming out with a 6 cylinder, looks really hot. But it might cost $25,000; I don't know tho haven't seen a price.

    New? A Gear-Up Ural. One with a special paint edition. If I won the lottery, I'd finish my XS 650 SG with all the go-fast stuff and find a rear 18" cast wheel that fits. A XS 750/850 tank made to fit for that cafe look. Painted Arrest Me Red! Add a new H-D Dayna Super Glide. Nahhhhhh '85 Softtail frame modified to take a 74 c.i. Knuckhead engine and the famous 4sp tranny. Kick starter a must. 5 gal Fatbob tank. And a 650 Seca. Thats all......for now!

    After this deployment i plan on buying a used Yamaha FZ8 or if possible a new one. I like the naked bike look especially the streetfighter style it has to it, I think thats why I vision my bike as a bobber because in my mind a streetfighter is a bobber sportbike.

    I'm very interested in the Suzuki Boulevard M50 right now. I think that might be my preferred styling (legs out front a little, little bit of lean back).

    -No Spokes
    -No Chain drive
    -No Carbs
    -Looks KEWL!

    Those things are a MUST on a new bike for me.
