It used to be called the Devil's Elbow. Before cars got all reliable they would often be seen blowing steam at the top.

Not to worry you but how good is your security? At times I would much rather leave the crown jewels in a garage than a Mx bike.
I would the tempted to put that RT100 away as an investment if it doesn't stand you at much, looks like it wouldn't take much for it to be clean and tidy and I can't ever remember selling any in those colours. The KE likewise is only increasing in value.

I did a buy today
I went to buy a brown Z900RS, but ended up with this instead as it was 2k cheaper, New bike in cheaper than used bike shocker!
Taken with a potato cam
I've been fancying a modern retro for a while now as I just end up riding like a twat on anything with big power and taking liberties, the Z1000 was too competent and a bit boring when just cruising around, this has a bit more character, and I don't feel like I have to make progress to have fun.
Better pic of the demo bike without the custom seat, made by Arse seats (honestly)
Bye bye Z1000SX, you were great but mildly irritating.

No idea to be honest, I just stole it off a bike page on FB.

Out of all the current jap retro bikes, I think they look the most correct.Jazoli wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 2:22 am I did a buy today

Just to be controversial I thought I'd post the worst bikes I've ever had the displeasure to have ridden.
