I bump into this sight once in a while, ...My dream Motercykel

(my camera is only a standard VGA, should be a SE K750i, - sigh)
It's a Honda Goldwing, 1200ccm water and oil cooled boxer engine with shaft drive (no chain)
A real touring machine ! Harley,-eat you'r heart out !
If you "fire this thing off" you shift to 5fht gear at 200km pr hour!
But it's meant 2 cruise at 120 to 160, can do that for hours on end (sigh)
Below you se the original from 1975

Below the latest: Valkyrie 1500ccm 6 cyl

Kvinder i Impressionismen ( Local Danish post)New "sundbusses" soon in Helsingør

Oh, a classic!

I wouldn´t like to drive anywhere near that kind of speed for more than a few minutes, though. It´s very tiresome indeed - as far as I remember from when I had a motorbike back in the days.

No, not without a windbreaker (kåbe) Did you know, that the tank is NOT the tank ?
You actually sit on the gasoline tank, and what looks as the normal tank is all the electrics

So the weight-point is very low ...

Oh and the sound of it. Not like yamaha sewingmachinesound, but WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ! Had some friends once who had machines just like that one. I could always recognize the sound, when they came driving up to the house.
