The original factory 'cafe racer.'

Ah yes; I used to ride with a guy who had one of these. His no longer had the fairing, was all black, and had the "John Player Special" logo on the side covers. This was about '78 through '82 or so. My Sportster (the very same one pictured on the last page) could hang with him pretty well, or even pass him in the straights, but the corners were another matter entirely. Anyway, very cool bike there Tech. You shoulda hung onto it...
