The kick start is missing... Oh well! I'd still ride it. |

It says it's a standard Honda 750 cruiser mill? XR has about 40 more horsepower. |

Looks kinda ghey with the V-twin... the original with the parallel twin is the way to go. Plus, given the number of the Hondas I've ridden with that displacement motor, it's gonna need more umph. |

Are those passenger pegs connected to the swingarm? That would be a really good way to shatter a few bones or launch the passenger off the back of the machine. |

The best thing I like about this bike is....nothing! There, I said it and feel much better now. I've owner a scrambler once before, this looks nothing like that. |

Greg- yeah, I've noticed those rear pegs being WRONG for many years on these Hondas. My first bike was an 82 TS125 Suzuki, pegs were like that, I always wanted to mod them somehow to get them off the swingarm... Looks to me like the folks who did that "chopper" got a chance to polish up another turd. Gotta say though- not a bad thing style-wise to be looking back at some of these old bikes- vintage 70's and 80's bikes looked better back then, IMHO... |
