Unfortunately, the asking price is also majestic. Nice looking machine. |
I understand your view, but my majestic is more a 'fallen from grace with battle scars but still holding together..' over restored bikes are no longer the thing I believe - originality is King.

OK, so the CX has been molested a bit. I don't know why they remove the front fender; it's a Californica thing.

OK, so we have different definitions of "majestic". You like 'survivors', I like 'garage queens'. Funny about that, you can usually find a 20 year-old garage queen when the need arises; 55 years old, not so much. You would be in heaven in California.

YDS7. My first proper bike (after mopeds). Loved every minute of owning it and sold it to buy an RD250.
If I knew then what I knew now......

My first street bike was a Suzuki T350. Back when the Kawasaki 500 and Suzuki 500 Titan ruled the road. You guys take me back.
