There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Bikes you would like to see come back
- Thread starter Rogue Hawk

How about the Spyder RSS or a sport minded Spyder with a non cruiser riding position

:clap: A buddy of mine had a 1972 H2 with Triple-Dencos, and Egli bodywork...
When that beast got up on the pipes: :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
Unfortunately; it also handled about like a 300 pound Hooker in a featherbed! :yikes:

For pure straight-line mayhem:
Think Kawi Z-1... only with a whole lot more horsepower that's waiting to strike! :yikes:

I had a couple of KZ 650R's... a lot of fun, but both had issues with the carbs.

Bring back RD/RZ 350 Yamaha, or any 2 stroke street stormer.
Like XS 650 in one of the first posts, I see some of these street-tracked, or bobbed.
Enjoyed a lot of different Suzuki's over the years, Probably because of wide, flat, firm seat. like GS850G.
Looking at all of these posts. I like almost every throwback model people selected. Probably why I like
that new CB1100 Honda, just unable to move back to two wheels.

If they won't come back..
keep your eyes peeled for an original. I wish I had a dollar for every time I hit the brakes and my wife says "good grief, what did you see now?" I spotted both of these bikes sitting alone in someones yard while out riding. One last year and one three years ago. Stopped, knocked on the door and next thing you knew they were mine and for a nice price. A little bit of money spent on some needed parts and a LOT of cleaning and polishing. I enjoyed it and while neither of these were "benchmark" models they are good reliable old bikes. An original, unmolested bike will catch my eye very quickly.

Ditto on GS850. I added Vetter Fairing, Vetter Trunk, Vetter Bags, and Crash bars.

How about the Kaw KZ900? I knew a guy that had one just like this,
, and have heard others on the street. I've just never heard any other bike that sounds like them. I don't think that the KZ1000 sounded like them, very close but not the same.

Someone here at work rides one of these. He has a windshield and has added a tour pack behind the seat. He even has velcro oven mitts for when it gets cold.

Those KZ13s were MASSIVE!! :bowdown:
But I think that I preferred the styling of the CBX... even though the center cylinders always ran hot!
The Benelli Sei with all those exhaust pipes; may have been the prettiest one of all...even though it was only a 750!

I had 2 KZ1300s. one standard and one touring. They ran like sewing machines as long as you remembered to adjust the cam chain. Great bikes
