Anyone own one of these bikes? I've always thought it was badass

I’m a mustang guy. A nova/chevelle is a big fat pig in my mind and not a car I desire. Shelby gt500kr is the best looking of that era.
X body and A body are two completely different platforms. At 2600 pounds give or take I’d hardly call a Nova a fat pig. Lol

Had one of these when I first met my wife. Gave her a ride, almost lost her when pulling in 1st gear,lol. She never sat in any of my bikes after that,haha.

My fave bike I owned after , was the 1986 750 VFR Interceptor I wish still have it.
Sold two Hayabusas recently. Great cruisers but uncomfortable for long trips. Still have my 58 Matchless G80S slow plunker, but comfortable and good handling around town.

Had the same cbx in candy apple when I was in college. Not sure how I made it out alive. I used to wheelie it almost like a dirt bike

Since we're talking about unique motorcycles, spend a few minutes reading about the man [ Vancouver BC motorcycle club member in the past ] who builds bikes from scratch. Truly talented man to say the least. , He had some pretty cool Vincent, Velocette etc bikes, when I met him way back, but nothing like this AJS V-4 re-creation of his.

Rode a CBR600F2 in the 90's in college, but the last bike I spent any time on was my dad's CBR1100xx turbo. 260hp/160tq was a fun package. Hadn't been on a bike since 02 or so, save a day or two here and there. Bought my first Harley about 2 months ago. Goes ok for a "cruiser". Right now I'm riding it around at 8psi of boost, getting used to it. Only 137hp/147tq. On pump gas at 14psi it made 179hp/181tq. It made over 200hp/200tq previously when Dynojet took it to Bonneville in 2017 and grabbed the 1650 A-PBF record with it at 167mph. Kinda cool to me that it has a little history to it.

Don’t know what it is with me and eclectic bikes but, I just won a 4th one. The Moto Guzzi Black Devil just looks like fun..
