Not along the same idea, but have you taken a look at the new (soulless?)
Triumph Bonneville? Kawasaki makes one similar to their 60s rip-off of the
Bonneville the W650. I might get one in a year or so when some used models
start showing up. The only thing that bugs me about the new Bonneville is
there is no kick start or tach! So pissed. The W650 indeed has both, which
is why I am still hesitating between the two.
Nice site comparing both: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/6666/retro.htm
The w650: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/6666/w650-specs.htm
The Bonneville: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/6666/bonni-specs.htm
Interesting stuff.

Subject: Project wanted
Well, with the completion of the Bugeye, I need a new project. Some you
British car types must have a 60's Triumph, BSA, or Norton motorcycle
lying around that you really don't need. I'm not a fan of basket cases
or failed attempts at choppers but anything else would be considered.
The preference would be a bike that was all there but needed "doing" but
if you have a really nice bike (even a Royal Enfield)that you might
consider selling, please let me know.
