This 500cc two stroke from 1988 is sitting there in front of a mall, just like a time machine.

I did not expect to take so many pictures of motorcycles on my trip there a few years ago.

Maybe once the community has more activity we can get a vote going on images people submit?

Bought in 2017 from someone who'd owned it from new and only had ~12,000 miles on it... And now has ~25,000.
Low-sided back in 2019, so the bike doesn't look quite so nice anymore, and neither do I haha.

Name a bike you regret selling thread... my turn ๐ฅน
Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. 2010 Neo retro, even if it doesn't mean much more than fuel injection about Moto Guzzi bikes.
She was a typical Moto Guzzi: lovely engine, great handling and finish-it-yourself everything else.
Not too viby, just enough to remind you motorcycles are a bit more than mecanical parts in motion, riding was inspiring and relaxing. One can say operating a Moto Guzzi like that forces you too go nice and slow, mostly like driving an actual vintage bike, except it fires up every time.
This one I regret selling because 10 years later I am looking at it again, and now I should afford owning more than one bike at a time.
