One of these... ![[Linked Image]](http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp11/tomt1951/002-2.jpg) This one above has a seat now & the engine/tranny is out of a Honda 110 ATC & has the high low feature. It's my favorite ![[Linked Image]](http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp11/tomt1951/001-10.jpg) The one above is geared too low right now & I need to swap out a sprocket on the rear miter box. Currently it will only do about 10 mph...but with the other sprocket I have, it tops out at about 30...plenty of power, it's a Chinese made clone of the Honda going 140cc's.

I've been ridin' a long time... Here's my first bike I bought when I was 10 yrs old with money I made working on the family cattle farm. It's a 1965 Honda Trail 90. Mine wasn't new of course. In fact, it was owned by a neighbor about my dad's age who deer hunted off of it. He had a gun scabbard on the front fork with an ever present and loaded .35 Marlin lever action that he'd jerk out as he stepped off the bike when he saw a deer in the woods while riding. As the deer watched the old bike roll out through the woods, he'd hammer him with the old .35. He killed a lot of deer that way. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee377/jeffpg/B80G-wEGkKGrHqMOKj8EzpUcEsGBM4DogLELw_31.jpg) There's been a whole lot of different bikes come and go since then, and I remember each and every one of them like I would an old friend. Other than my mountain bikes, a couple of ATV's and my dirt bike, this is how I roll these days... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee377/jeffpg/IMG_0418-1.jpg)

Love those Rokon/Hondakons! HAd to sell mine recently to help funs a weding coming up but sure do hope to get another. Thanks for posting those. Most don't understand how capable those things are and what all they are truly capable of.

This is how I roll these days... Wow! That bike is absolutely BADASS! It's my favorite sport bike. Congratulations. It'll compete with Kawasaki's ZX-14. ![[Linked Image]](http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo15/antlers163/photo-1435.png)
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Still riding a 1971 CL 450 Honda Scrambler. Other than batteries and fuel, nothing seems to need replaced Russ

Ive got an SV1000S (06) with LSL riser kit and Corbin seats, what sayeth you? Once you get a bit older, your knees get sore and your back can't sit in a fetal position for more than two miles, you'll get something like mine: ![[Linked Image]](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q38/gunsmithlc/DSC_1658.jpg) Most comfortable bike I've ever had - and that 6-speed/96CID makes the miles effortless..
