It looks like the red in that NO PARKING sign is almost the same color as your bike. :)

That's why I always try to park it where it says No Parking. :cooldevil:

I now have a 76 1000 (most fun to ride) and a 93 1500 (most comfortable for touring). Love both of them. Have to say though that I liked my 83 interstate (bought new) the best of them all for an all around bike. (Comfort as well as ease of handling). Just seemed to fit me perfectly.

I think the real point here is: So long as it has two (or in some cases, three) wheels and isn't a scooter, it is indeed cool.

The spirit of two wheels is what really counts (unless it's a scooter of course).


I'd say the one that's between your legs while cruising down the highway.

 

Mr. Fro - What ya' got against scooters? - I'd pick my Burgman for ease of use anyday.

In my mind you can't beat the 1800. So much cleaner of a setup on the luggage and fairing than my old 1200 plus 1000 times more reliable. Otherwise any of the 1000-1200 but must be stock naked bike. All cool is gone once fairing is added unless it came from Honda. Shouldn't say that, but gosh I've seen some ugly homebrews over the years.:) Last thing, must be original paint, all repaints have zero value and I won't oppologize there.

If I had to pick just one, it would be the 1978.

think as a few said they are all cool, the 1000s when they first came out, then they evloved up to the 1800, the best looking one in my opinion is the 1500, the best ride, well i have not rode a 1000 or an 1100 but it would have to be the 1800, i have seen some absolutely stunning bikes that were very cool, and as for colour, which is the coolest well its got to be white

Neighbor just bought an 1800 and he had bought a new 1000 when they came out . While he loves his 1800 he said the 1000 was the coolest all around bike he ever had .

 

Mostly a matter of preference and i dont dislike any of them .

 

I thought the suit case removable hard bags was a really cool set up . 1800 has inserts that are removable but not near as cool to me .
