Might be buying this bike from my neighbor. Better for true vehicular open carry!
Man, a low-pipe XL! 175? I've forgotten the color schemes from the different years, but that was over 30 years ago. Bike looks to be in great shape. Get it!
Don't let the haters hatin' get you down. Buy it!
When that bike was new, a 750 was a "huge!" motorcycle that only the manliest men could handle. These days, the faux-machismo PC bike culture says that anything under 1,300 is a "girl's bike".
Truth is, any decent rider on a 250 could run laps around most of these RUBs on their monster V-twins. That's because they can delude themselves that they're "bikers", but they can't override their survival instinct, and they know deep inside that they're in over their heads and scared to crack the throttle.
Except when they pull the clutch in and blap their straight pipes to piss off the mundanes, that is.
