50 cc Honda moped

454 Kawi
250 Rebel
And now the RK Custom, been a long time coming. I had rented several Harley's, but I know that doesn't count. Been on nearly every Harley built in the last 5 years test riding on vacations. Except a Sportster. At me being 350 lbs, it would look like an ape on a tricycle. Not a pretty site.
