I think it was the look of the old british iron that appealed to me the most. still does today.

nortons, matchless, bsa's... of course tritons and norvins were the best. not by looks but the concept of necessity & function trumping all other considerations appealed to me.

When I was younger a coworker of mine, at my very first job actually, sold me his XR 250R dirtbike and that got me started on 2 wheels but he had a 900 Ninja that just F'n screamed!! Black and Red and sexy as all hell, man that thing was just wicked cool back then and still is today.

This one that I've always liked and hoped the design might catch on better but just never did. I saw one in the local Hooters the other day and just had to stop and look at it. I've always told myself when I have the extra money I'd love to own one just to say I have it if nothing else.

Old Slingshot GSXR's, streetfightered.

Although I always did like the baby GPz's (550's) and the GPz Turbo's.
