trying to invent the wheel again.............................literally.

Honda CB250K4....... One of my old work colleagues bought one like that new after buying new 1972 A65 BSA lightning and only owning it for a week, he couldn't stand everything vibrating. Then had a BMW whose gearbox broke. Disappointed with lack of BMW reliability he then moved on to a 500...

I think they call that a qd................
