Best built bike I ever stradled. Stainless brake lines, stainless exhaust, beautiful fasteners , great sound. The only negative I found was its a pain in the a$$ to set the valves

It's great that the name was revived, and done in style. I'm hanging out to see if the new RE Continental GT makes it down under, though.

Being an "Old Guy", I remember the Trumpets dominated the flat tracks all thru the midwest. Always liked the styling, but between dripping oil, vibration, and crappy Lucas electrics, it was a no-brainer when Honda made the scene with the 750 Four-less money and a MUCH better bike all around. My Question, now that I've vented: Are they better now? I greatly value actual owners' opinions!
