No it isn’t just you Bruce,I cant see it either,Scotty has posted some youtube vids but something screwie is going down and I cant fix it. :blush:
Scotty,I had a road regoed NSR250 about 7 years ago and that was a scary bit of work,fun to ride though but I figured if I kept it, my days on this earth were numbered. :ohmy: A 500cc one would be insane!!
Connor thought it was cool to.
As far as road bikes go I would have a GSXR1100 on my wish list.

For a cheapy it seems to be doing a good job..
There wouldn’t be much learning to be done,I bet you’d be a natural on it.

In the automotive world the most units of cars sold is not the best car, ask the Mercedes, jag, Porsche , BMW, ferrari and I am sure there is lots lots lots more….all better cars to drive than pussbox production city commuters that would probably easily top the sales stakes…….now where would the VW Bettle be , the best in the world because they remain unchanged for 1000 years of sales….now arent they a pleasure to drive :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:Maybe it was the most sold the little cub, but the best….at that stage I would have gone and had a look at my fish tank to get more entertainment.
I am sure there is a more accurate way of determining the Best bike other than sales figures
You only have to ride one to KNOW…….
Rat this wasn’t about sales figures and that shows with the 916 at no.2, plenty bigger sales than that.
It was about the bikes influence in the world of motorcycling.
For the CB750 in it’s time it was a mass produced bike that brought to the masses better performance and reliabilty than even expensive custom bikes of the day could offer.
With the Ducati it was it’s styling, this bike brought a new era for styling of sports bikes that most other brands have tryed to emulate.
The cub has simply got more people around the world riding bikes than any other bike in history. It might not be the kind lf riding that we all do but the people who ride them are motorcylist all the same. It’s influence on the masses is simply unchallenged by any other motorcycle.
Add to that its reliability and some off the places this bike has gone, im sure we’ve all seen stories of people doing round the would trips on these thing.
We apraise Ewen McGregor and Charlie Borman for riding around the world on state of the art BMW’s with 2 support cars. People have been doing this for years on posties unsupported.
Look at the big picture. It’s not just about the fastest, sexiest or blingest.
One of the best thought out responses I have ever seen on OBT, well said Scotty!!
Mine are a bit different. I think they are about $35. They look pretty bling with the carbon fibre look.
Dunno how long they will last before I kick one off with my boot getting on the bike.
