Correction. The picture of the alleged C200 with the OHC engine and the high pipe, stamped steel body, and Super-90 style tank is actually of a Honda Sport 65. | |||

Hey Bud, | |||
I hope that you are doing well. I'm currently serving in Iraq and will be back in the states in late spring. I'm looking to buy a 74 900 Z1. Would you be interested in selling or know any one who might be let me know. My email is gwagner@afa.net | |||
Thanks, Geoff | |||

Budlight, | |||
I just want to share that my first 'real bike' was an almost brand new '72 (I thought it was a '71) S2. Boy was I proud of that wild ride! It had the most beautiful candy red that looked as if it was a foot deep in the sun. It ate sparkplugs from the excessively rich oil injection setting (actually had a recall to change the oil injection pump). I couldn't go down a street without laying smoke like a mosquito fogger, even after the 'improved oil pump calibration'. This bike was small for sure, but it also was the only bike that I spilled. It had a horrible torque curve that came on like a wild horse on steroids at around 4 grand if I recall, and if I wasn't careful, whoops the front end would go light and wheel-stand if I wasn't careful. Well, it did just that in 1st gear when turning on a city street. I was young and inexperienced, but the pain & embarassment of having to push my damaged shiny new bike back to my apartment building with a torn shirt and bleeding elbow, was a lesson that taught me to respect all of my future bikes and perhaps guided my some 100,000 accident free bike miles since. I guess that what I wanted to share was that by 1975 and as the paint faded from the candy apple red to expose the orange beneath, I lost interest in the small bike and sold it for peanuts. If only I had it now....... | |||
Bud I have a 1976 cb750a with 9500 miles. It is the green color of that year. Would you like a picture of it to add to the 1976 page ? It is truly as new, with a Vetter fairing. j-g-k@q.com | |||
== BMW R26 == | |||
Hi Budlight. I purchased a used police BMW R26 in Munich many years ago - it was green - and I have been looking for a pic with that color - and just found one on this site. I have pics from that time, but they are old and do not show the color - looks more black. Jut wanted to say hello! | |||

ps. I purchased a 64 R27 last summer and started to ride again. | |||

G'day, Ben! I was wondering if I could become one of the admins here. [[User:DetectiveDove|DetectiveDove]] ([[User talk:DetectiveDove|talk]]) 20:46, 6 May 2019 (UTC) | |||
:What are you hoping to do that you can't just edit as a regular user? I think it seems a bit bold to ask to be an admin on the same day you joined. --[[User:Budlight|Budlight]] ([[User talk:Budlight|talk]]) 21:45, 7 May 2019 (UTC) | |||
