Was in the shop more than on the road, so I turned it into an 85 K100RS and have never looked back!

The greatest motorcycle on earth.
My 1998 VFR800. I've owned this bike since new and will likely never sell it.
45K on it. It was my regional touring bike for a while, then a commuter and is now a nice Sunday morning GT ride.

It's slow...it handles like 1936...every train track crossing is an adventure...zero wind protection...feet forward posture guarantess a sore butt after 200 miles...cleaning it takes a week...
...but I love looking at it...I love the sounds it makes...I love the conversations it draws from old guys...and I love watching the springer front end as it pogos up and down as we go down the road.
XR650L...D606s...oversized tank...jet kit...air box mod...Corbin seat...aftermarket pipe...tail rack...heated grips...TAG bars...this is my dirt road exploration bike...comfortable enough to ride from sunrise to sunset...enough space to hold some rain gear and lunch...and cheap enough that I don't mind taking some risks with it. Simply a great bike until you come out of the woods 200 miles from home and you want to take the tarmac back...then the wind will toss you all over the road...tires make a ton of noise...no wind protection...obnoxious exhaust note...minimal lighting...and truly sketchy at speeds above 75. I do enjoy the wheelies though
Sold this one earlier this year:
When I saw your other bike it reminded me of my own Scrambler. I then read your adventure. That looked like a total blast, thanks for sharing it with everyone.On the Trans-Labrador Highway:
My 17 year old giving his grandmother, who has dementia, a ÔÇÿrideÔÇÖ on the back of one of our Twinstars at her 90th birthday party. When my sons were learning to ride, I found two old Twinstars (an ÔÇÖ80 and an ÔÇÖ81) for them to learn to wrench on. . . and we restored them completely. Great experience and they both do their own maintenance now.
My mom isn't ÔÇÿin the presentÔÇÖ very often these days, but she seems to have fond memories of my dad's Indian from the 1950ÔÇÖs. When she saw the Twinstar at her party there was no stopping her ÔÇöÔÇ£I WANT A RIDE! I WANT A RIDE".
They went only about 10 feet with people on both sides holding her on, but she was happy (the Twinstar, not so much. . . rear fender is on the tire here).
Wil rides a Ninja now, no shorts or bare feet.
