I like the looks of the Z1K, but it's physically too small for me (I'm 6'6"). I haven't tried the older generation, but the current generation looks like a pocketbike under me.

get your legs taken off at the knees and casll yourself cotton :lol:

I've thought about it, but that would definitely hurt my hanging-off abilities, and the seat-to-clipon distance would still be too short. I don't like having my hands right next to my knees. ;)

OK, you talked me into it :dthumb: One of the guys on the triple forum just got an '83 ELR and he loves it. He said it hit 140 without even trying :rockout:

Money wise, I already have the '74 H1 500 and pretty much everything to completely restore it.

the rc211v had a v5 since they moved to 800 the rc212v has 4. Honda was the only manufacturer pushing a five. Ducati and suzuki run v4s kawi and yamaha run inline fours with crossplane cranks and when they still competed aprilia ran a triple
