I really like brown/ black combo. Like saddle tan with a lot of colors, too. Black and Tan looks nice, but has a bad meaning in Ireland...

Ridley 750cc. Automatic trans.

There is a dealer here in town, & one guy has one & hangs at our dealership. Sounds like Dixie Chopper lawn mower.

Thanks. Heck of a neat looking bike. Probably fun to ride but I'd miss shifting too much and the only thing I want to sound like a lawn mower is...well a lawn mower.

My wife has one. It's a fun bike to ride but the not shifting thing is a lot different. I was putting her bike on a trailer and went for the clutch lever when I got it on. Almost went over the front of the trailer.
