Yea, If they were to build them, Aprilia might even make em stop, Sheeeeeez. Can't be hav'n none of that. Would take all the excitement (pucker factor) out of things. Can you imagine disk brakes, fuel injection, wide rims, electronic ignition, real front suspension and maybe even a silky smooth six speed? (well er uh yea, so can I ;-) ). Would I really sell mine for this retro thingy? Heck no. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again, leave the loops to people like us who love to ride 'em and keep 'em on the road.
