 Dude, it’s the cool bike thread, not the bling bike thread.

The CCM is so close but so far away.  Lots of cool but ruined by bling.

Not the best example of a GS agreed, but yeah totally 80's, '79 and '80 being Cooleys best two years putting 4 cylinder Jap muscle, firmly on the map by winning consecutive AMA's and Suzuka two years running. Hopefully there should be a good example for me to take a pic of at the Bol in a few weeks time. Can't wait :thumbup .

Guzzi's Griso is pretty cool.

The size of the latest lithium bike batteries the well off racers use now are really small,you wouldn't think they'd be able to work properly but they do,in most cases better than good gel ones!

It's a 500 Benelli isn't it? I sat on one in a bike shop in Nottingham. They look pretty good but being a Chinese built 'Italian' bike, who knows how durable they'll be? Quite cheap though.

Yup - it's a Benelli - gets a fairly decent write up and build quality seems good for a Chinese build.

I quite like the look of it, the dealer also has the TRK which I'm seriously looking at as a commuter. It beat the Honda CBX500 on test.
