I know. I'm in a class of one here, but I've never got what people like about them. Shell suit paint job, hideous looking chassis and body work...

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I was at Aintree today watching the club racers,I wasn't expecting to see one of these in the paddock
The owner sponsors one of the racers,he rides the NR750 & it's done over 8K,nice to see that it gets used.I've never seen one other than in a showroom.It got a lot of attention.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
This was at the local bike night earlier.
It's the first time I've seen a Bandit motor in a Honda

It seems almost common to put 1200 Blandit motors in 70/80's Kwaks and Hondas, I've seen quite a few.
