'78 Honda CX500 longitudinal V-Twin, Moto Guzzi style. I bought it in '81 from a Honda mechanic who had tricked it out for canyon racing...2 into 1, lowered seat, solid black paint, BMW bars, lightened flywheel, removed centerstand and radiator trim, aftermarket rear shocks.
I added a fork brace to eliminate the dreaded high speed cornering death wobble.
Bought it with 19,000 miles and sold it 5 years later with 71,000 miles.

Honda CBR 600 F1 Hurricane great bike.
I loved them so much that...I owned about 12-14 of them over the years before getting an F2...then Decided to finally join the 21st century and went to buy a 2006 600rr which was stolen 59 days later...then had 2 other superhawks now on my 3rd superhawk.
