not sure if it's cool to post this here, it's an ebay listing for my bike in Toronto. I just want to sell this thing so I don't have to put it in storage when I travel 
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261284326818
I hate to see this go, but it's a little too small for me. Everyone loves this bike.
Cruiser with a low frame. The low frame gives you a lot of control and a low CG. I bought the bike to get my M, rode it occasionally for a season and then put it in storage for a year. It's back on the road now.
40,700km on it, bonus detachable windscreen, saddlebags and an XL HJC 3/4 black helmet with visor if you want it. Brand new battery.
Here's the deal:
Old bikes take time to warm up. Experienced riders can ride them pretty fast from cold, but new riders will stall and get frustrated, or will run too rich too long and foul the plugs. If you're mechanically inclined, it's not hard to get used to, this is a great bike. Gravity fed fuel, air cooled, two cylinders and not much else. Fast enough for the 400 series highways and to earn your full M license.
Previous owner used to ride from NewMarket to Hamilton daily at 6am and back at 10pm, saved him tonnes of cash on gas and insurance.
It'll hold up on the highway, you can pass the trucks too, but headwinds will knock you down to 110kph, while tailwinds will bring you up to 140kph. In other words, you can cruise to Kingston, keep right most of the time, but you've got enough speed to pass the trucks.
If you're a creative ultralight backpacker, you could do solo trips to Algonguin.
This is turnkey for somebody who's not afraid to pull out the toolkit when they hear a rattle (the factory toolkit is present). Tires are in good shape. The previous owners babied the bike, I wasn't as kind, but I never abused it.
$1000 OBO.
