Japanese Bikes / Re: Best handling bike that you have ever owned and why
« on: May 16, 2013, 06:23:36 AM »
Sorry I caused such a ruckus about the H1 or H2 thing. It has been about 38 years since I have had it.
It may not have been as good handling as a Norton, but I thought we had to have owned the bike.
 I never owned a Norton. Beat one in a race though.
 British bikes in the 60s and early 70s were very unreliable and parts almost impossible to get within 6 months.
When you live in the north you usually only have about 6 good months to ride in, and the rest is pretty hard core, so who wants to wait on parts on a slow boat from England?

Japanese Bikes / Need to sell my V65 to good home
« on: May 15, 2013, 05:39:26 PM »
I have had a few bikes over my riding years. I got my first bike the day I turned 16........a few years ago indeed.

Several years ago my son wanted to start riding and wanted a c-rocket. I did not want him riding with that crowd.

 Nothing against those who own those bikes, but I did not want him doing 100mph+ wheelies and racing on the back roads.

So, I found him a used Honda Magna 1100. He rode it while he lived here and when he moved out, he bought an 1800 Honda new.(the V Twin)

I have had the V65 here for long enough since he has gone and have not put 500 miles on it. My Goldwing does just fine.

I was wondering what kind of price I should ask for it. It does need a new seat,  otherwise it is in good condition. About 23K mi

Mine was the 72 Kawasaki 500 H2. Of all the bikes I owned it seemed to out handle the others. Yes, some were more nimble, but did not have the nads to get out of their own way like this bike did.
The best handling bike I think I ever remember riding....now this is for vintage only... was the Kawasaki 350 1972 vintage. That bike was really nimble and very quick.
