Help me choose my next Airhead

The R80RT can be fairly easily updated to be an R100 RT with aftermarket or OEM parts. The advantage you have is that it is relatively easier and a LOT cheaper to find monolever R80 RT's. In my mind the monolever bikes are the best. Also, the lower gearing of the R80 RT is a distinct advantage in most situations because first gear is shorter for easy low speed riding, and top gear is more useful for 65-80 mph riding. With two up an R80 RT converted to 1000cc is the winner because the lower gearing is a real blessing.
