Gorgeous.
Was at Iron Pony in Columbus yesterday and the the most impressive bikes to me were the Trumpets.
They had a black and silver Thruxton R that was orgasmic.
Clearly not the fastest but......, light, small, nimble......, would be an absolute blast to ride.
Going to look at this old Honda Nighthawk in the morning to add to the collection.

Hondas version of the GS 700 ES I already own.
GS has a pipe and is tuned for and is a lil rocket.
Owner added one to the Nighthawk and tuned for it too.

(Justin) Honestly haven't had it out yet. I've read they are great bikes. Ordered one of these overpriced single headlight and gauge kits. Not sure if I'm going to do clip-ons yet. Just wanted something to drive around the backroads, and maybe to work on Saturdays.
Not looking forward to all the hours left to get the boat back on the water, lots o work!

I have ridden bikes since I was a kid, Raced quads, owned dual sports, dirt bikes, a harley etc... I havent ridden a street bike in years and wont either. Its not that I dont enjoy it or dont want to, it's that my life if more important to me than some soccer mom yelling at her kids in the back seat. I simply do NOT trust other people on the road.
