What did I see today?

Kicking myself for not taking a picture of this bike, and I had my phone with me...but. Ok, it was a Honda, that much I know. V-Twin, shaft drive, Kind of a dirt tracker look going on with it, low, flat bars. Wasn't a cruiser bike. And it was small. A good bit smaller than my Suzuki VX800. Vintage I would guess would be around mid 80's. Anyone have any idea of what I was looking at?

Have I gotten so old that it make me sad to hear that an 80s bike is called 'vintage'
Kinda like hearing AC/DC on the oldies station

It uses a majority of the Shadow's parts. Same service manual for both bikes. Originally Posted by Knock Sensor

Where did you see it? I picked mine up a month ago and have done some major overhaul to it...waiting for my Kenda street knobbies to get here and she's done (well, that and the retro seat cover and retro tail light and...) ...mine is black, BTW.

This was in Providence down near East Side Marketplace and it was a white one. It did have street tires on it. Originally Posted by D-Tung
