Inspired by the discussion on pragmatic back to basics stuff and ST's comments in the thread on the other side....how about this ?

Even Norton couldn't fail to be impressed. If it wasn't for recent expenses I'd be mightily tempted....

Six grand for a 15-year-old Jap trail bike that's been tinkered with.

It should be in the pragmatics thread.

But look at it iffy - pared down to the basics - function over form, engineering over looks....be worth the same in 5 years...

My wife just stuck her finger in an empty tree light bulb socket with the power on. Katherine Jenkins couldn't have hit a note like that. Heh heh !

Yeah, best go and help her...

I like it, all neatly done. With the exception of the front wheel/tyre... Is that heftier than desirable? Maybe it's a desert sled? I'm no expert on off-road bikes. The only time I took mine onto a farm track I got scared when I got up to 40mph. Oooer, daren't brake, and it all felt as though it was going to get out of hand when I hit the next undulation....

I thought that as well, slightly disproportionate - wonder how much it weighs ? Did some off-roading (to a farm) on the old GS - not for the feint hearted...!
