Been test driving Triumphs and Beesers for a friend and actually
the original 60's stuff is pretty rickety (compared to the
memories). The nicest compromise without going to the new
replibikes is a twin cylinder 750 Kawasaki B2 (circa 1976, flat
seat, spoke wheels). My son restored one and I'm stealing it all
the time.
