NOTE: This bike probably belongs over on the RSBFS sister website, Classic Sportbikes for Sale. Also, its an eBay classified ad, not an auction. But its so amazing that I just I had to ask Dan to post it here -Marty Imagine for a moment you are at a local bike night/meet up. Probably some…
Join us in the comments for a discussion on what criteria should be considered for bikes to appear on RSBFS. Thanks for the post Marty! -dc Let me say up front that I struggled a bit with submitting this bike, given the fact that its big, slow, is powered by a 1200cc air cooled engine…
