Lucky! France is surprisingly affordable. Good luck on your ventures.

I'm going to keep all the film protection and miscellany on it, and keep it as a 0 mile, unserviced bike. But, I will source new OEM street legal parts for it. Just a bit of a project... and, I really like doing the leg work for projects like this.

Motion, I passed on one of those little smokers this spring, which was street legal. I kick myself in the butt for that decision occasionally because I love 2-strokes. I have eight bikes and no more room, and I couldn't kick out any of my RD's or GT's.

Enjoy yours!

BTW, I've been looking at buying a 2016 Norton 961 SF for a month or so.
Decided against it...I don't want the drudgery...maybe if/when Mahindra buys them out and they get sorted.

Obviously, a little unclear on the concept...

And, an idiot, to boot. Not worth $1,800, let alone $18,000. Professionally appraised at $20,000, my ass.

I had a friend that owned a Yamaha parallel twin like this, way back when, and he made me ride it once. Parallel twins were always a bad idea but I was amazed how much I hated riding it, even for a short distance. Hard to believe they sold so many of the damn things.

A few dealers are practically giving these things away. They've been sitting on them since '09. Anyone can PM me for more info.
