Saul Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I’m under no illusions about the practicality of this bike but my god look at it. Just stunning and that green straight from the 1970’s. The sound they make is something to behold. Perfect for me, if I ever come into enough money to have a toy collection this would right at the top of the list. Come on then what floats your two wheeled boat so to speak. Not something you would necessarily want to ride everyday but something that just ticks the box. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 This , it's not a factory bike but something that a guy in Wales made to resemble to original offering from Honda. I could kick myself for not buying it when it was on sale . 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a NX650 (Dominator) made to look like one of the XL600 Paris-Dakar bikes . He made several versions of them ................ https://www.bikebound.com/tag/andrew-greenland/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 I really could go for one of these again, I had one but mine was nowhere near as nice as this. Been gently modded by the looks of it. Love the nod to the original R500 with the indicators in the handlebar ends. Lovely old aircooled engine with good handling, brakes, electrics and a half decent gearbox, best air cooled boxer to live with. What's not to love. Mine was this colour, mine had 6 owners before me and none of them gave a fuck about it and it showed. I gave it up as a bad job in the end, just couldn't afford to get it running right. I have a photo of it somewhere on a old HDD I will try and dig it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 There are quite a few that I’ve owned that I thought were drop dead gorgeous but………..there’s something vicious about a TL1000S that just gives me a fatty softy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surround you and the bike with a hoard of ‘track-day heroes’ all on appropriately lighter bikes with absolutely no awareness of their own mortality. I sat out the last session as I had to ride it home afterwards with my missus on the back and I was knackered. Yep, it was hard enough. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard doing track riding I just didn't really think it would take that much more to take a busa on the track over and above what it would be on something like the rsv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busabeast Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I quite often sat out of the very last session as it's where the majority of the crashes happen and I'd prefer not to be a statistic in someone else's accident 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
