Already got one, and mine has spoked wheels!

Not too keen on the saddle either.... :-?

I'd buy it, but Motobins doesn't ship to the States. ;)

Hope I don't offend anybody, but I am not sure about the LS and the way it looks, but that's just my opinion.  :)

But, as Lou says, it's not a bad price for what looks a solid machine.

Motorworks are a very good company and easy to deal with. I am, enjoying spending money with them to get mine finished.

Apparently someone disagreed with you - it's gone!

Entirely right!

Each to their own.

Do you also not like the Suzuki Katana?

I do like the Katana if you remove the fairing, there's the problem for me.

I think (IMO) it's date's the machine.

Personal preference, no more on my part. It's still a 65 and that's what matters :)

Are you too young, Chris, to have memories of lusted-after sport bikes of the 80's?
I like so many different machines, if I had the money, I could put Jay Leno to shame!

Rob,

I'm 52 and know the 80's all too well...

Just never like that style of fairing, always preferred the naked look or the full fairing of the R100.

I'm pretty much the same way (but only 50).  I never liked the looks of the sport bikes of that era.  I'm surprised I like some of the modern ones, like the Daytona 675.  

I don't particularly like the looks of my Windjammer on the R65; I just really like the way it works and feels.  In the winter, anyway.
