@Nonick Those shoes hardly look like the cheap option, K26s would have to be, last pair of Nike Sneakers I purchased disfigured that much they were hardly useable withing 6 months, disappointing since they were not very shy of $200.
@Mark1966 In the right condition these (and beetles and buses) are becoming quite sought after, mine needs a little work (paint and the engine could do with some refreshing). I saw the value of the Karman Ghia skyrocket so thought I'd jump on the lesser known/appreciate Type 3 while I could still afford it.
@Drubbing I can appreciate the sentiment, I had dreams of a super sports my entire provisional license period, when time came I purchased a FZ8, after almost a year and a crash (not my fault - someone pulled out on a round about) I was happy to see it go and make way for the SV650.
@eggbert Those RGV's look like some fun, I've just been a little scared of highly strung two strokes, tho I've had a lot of fun on a mates RS125 in the past. Why the scooter, I commend them for their storage space but I don't know I could ever bring myself to do it, not when a not too old BMW 6-800/SV/whatever can be had for not too different money.
@Pjotr How did you find the 400? I've always been curious about them, tho I think I'd personally get the E and just a set of road rims or dual sport tyres, I want to try my hand at adventure/trail riding one day, tho vertical challenges have kept me away from pulling the trigger on a 400
I also forgot to list my absolute pain of a '79 A100 - electrical issues all the time, soon going to have the generator completely bypassed and just hook up a removable battery to run the lighting independent of the engine.
