Oh crap...my 750 Bonneville was a ramblin' wreck around 1974... ran great but lost third gear. Then it lost second gear...I traded it and a couple hundred bucks for a '68 Honda CB 750...and so on...
My best deal was the 75 bucks I spent on a 350 Benelli one-lunger...although the pair of Ossa Pioneers were a close second..
Pioneers look like a Bultaco with a funny tank.
Great motorcycle. lol
I was given the opportunity to take a new Ducati Supperleggera?? at our Eagles Car Bike show this summer. 220+ hp and like 70 grand. If I had your money I would sell that old Pantara and get me one......
I never went past 3rd gear.
That bike is a f'ing Beast.
So much fun, that guy my sister dated was a leaner, thats why I still love FX's. No chicken strip on my rides.
My first big boy bike was a 650 Tiger, and the on off on off on off of Lucas and zeniers.
Then in 1975 a 71 xlch and a year or so later a 69 xlc. Wish I still had that one.
In 1980 a new FXS 80 shovel. It was out last week.
I wish I had that xlc, i'd give it to my kid.
