Giving up on the 911

[DGatzby]

I don't consider any of the HC's..or Demons truly rare..I do have a somewhat rare bike..an original "78" Kawasaki Z1R Turbo (Black Moly edition)...unrestored..mint ..in the wrapper..3400 original miles..I purchased the bike new in 78...everything is original down to the air cleaner...

Cool bike! I would ride it. Bet it kicks butt and is one scary SOB. That was back when I wanted one, but lucky for me every respected person around me was not about to give me a positive thought about riding a motorcycle when I was young and dumb.

I got this interesting Harley myself. It is a FXLR numbered special edition from 1993. While I have bolt on parts installed (like everyone) we can return it to 100% stock with the four big cases of parts I have retained since purchase in 1994 that my wife cannot understand at all. It is an extremely rare little bitch, that gets more desirable by the year, from what I understand but I probably will not sell it until I quit riding. That is the Harley model that had a frame configuration extremely similar to many “jap” bikes. Maybe the same as that Kawasaki. It is a dream to ride. Has a torque curve that resembles a Hellcat just a shit wad less numerically. Oh, and it can get 45 mpg on tour.

I mostly go the opposite direction on insurance. I prefer to get the least I think I'll need and put the saved money away for a rainy day. I have the 170 insured for what it cost me basically.

Agree. There has even been a few track days where I did not purchase the insurance. One day that trick did cost about $3,500.

In the unlikely event I ever sell it I'll for sure let folks here know first. Would want it to go to someone that'd use it as intended.
