Looks like the old sr185 i used to have in high school. Decent little bike it was, drove the heck out of it with zero maintenance other than changing oil and lubing chain for 2 years and then traded it for a sled (bad decision)

 

[RetroGrouch]

Haha, looks familiar.

Is that an ironing board for a seat?

 

[Flashmonkey]

I love the contrast between that bike and the VFR.

What's it like to ride one of those, anyway? A plank of wood for the seat and no mirrors....you'd probably need an extra large set of testicles.

 

[RetroGrouch]

Or no testicles at all.

I'm new to the whole "riding" thing. However, I can appreciate a classic of any era/make/model...
But please explain why you think that is a cool bike?
Does it have some sort of sentimental value?

Personally, I wouldn't take a second look if I saw that bike parked anywhere.

You need to get your sarcasm detector re-calibrated.

Ok now I'm gonna need to see a pic of the owner.

On a separate and totally unrelated note, that seat looks like it transmits a crap load of vibration...............

That's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw it lol

 

[Stewart]

that bike was scarey ride and after a tank of gas you would need a 2 hour break for your butt.

 

[tang69]

i think i met this chick, she wears glasses and rocks a skateboard, no?

 

[X-Prophet]

Yes the owner is a chick. She's a fellow instructor at the school I work at, though I haven't seen her lately. Talked briefly about our bikes, and found out she's into the oldschool rat bikes. Her bike is super cool....very minimalist

 

[Low rider]

Yes. There is a VFR. But what is parked on the other side?

Looks like a Ford F150 but could be an F250.

 

[jolomatic]

Other than the seat looking so uncomfortable, I like that bike.
It looks like the owner is actually familiar with all the nuts and bolts.
I bet she could tell you how many kms on her chain or tires without skipping a beat, and that the bike has claimed the skin from at least one or two of her knuckles.
To me that's way more awesome than the shiney brand new plastic bike, of which the owner can only tell you the price and maybe the HP or torque as advertised by the manufacturer.

 

[Hachi-Roku]

Still waiting for pics of the Awesome Bike

 

[fastar1]

She's not that hard core, the bike has a superfluous turn signal. The horror! And I'm not sure that it needs a battery since it looks like it's a kick starter?
