Before there were sport bikes, it would be a Triumph or a Norton,1968, I went to see a friend in Castro Valley ,CA on a 1952 panhead that was pretty stock, swing seat and all. I had paid $250 for it. I was into knuckleheads , the pan was so cherry I didnt want to chop it. He had a Suzuki X-6 Hustler (250 cc 2-stroke, 6 speeds). I traded on the spot. I had a blast on that, it was so responsive and explosive that I loved it. Id trade back now!
