Yeah the bars set it off nicely. I think out of the crate they all look a bit, well, odd. But a few mods and they really start to look like good old proper British bikes.
I borrowed an early Daytona for the day from a bike shop years and years ago. I loved it but it was to big and heavy for me then as an everyday bike. Dealer was a bit peeved when I handed it back 200 miles later and said naw. He then threw the keys at me for the old 900 sprint, it was closing time on Saturday, he said bring it back Monday evening, but I declined. A rare thing that was a dealer that sold bikes by actually letting people try em out! Bought a 94 18mnth old CBR600F instead.
Those old speed triples are all so wrong, but somehow they just look so right. And I still remember the big grin I wore all day on the Daytona which is pretty much the same thing.
