2005 Yellow Honey Bee
11,000miles, I purchased used in 06 with 6200 miles
5-11 200lbs 50years old
Overall rating: Fun Flicky Authentic Motorcycle

Mods: Thunderbike 2-1 exhaust (put the OEM back on, peaceful commuter now), AI removed, Ikon shocks, Tomaselli adj bars, CGR bar end mirrors, fly screen.
Done before I bought the bike.sorry.

Needs: a matching Thrux in the garage, for riding buds, fork oil?

I started ridding a Honda 550 four in the seventies, odd that I had the metal flake brown bodywork painted Corvette yellow....hummm?
Got back to bikes 2002. Had a 02 Royal Enfield Bullet, sold it, wish I kept it. Picked up a left over Triumph 02 t-bird, 24,000 miles later, still have it.
Purchased the Thruxton because I loved the package, never test rode it until I had the check in hand.
Of course I am still wanting an ST (got it), just because you can never get all things in one bike. That would be like asking your Car to push a plow, you could but why?

I ride daily until the ice shows up in the morning or as soon as my route has the sand swept up in the spring.
Never went to the track, to cheap.
Someone on my commute must be jealous. The Fuzz have been following me to my door. Hey,I am a good guy, safe and honest. I do set off car alarms, its not my fault.

No Problems just not enough cash to experiment.

If Money was no problem:
Sprint ST 1050 Did it, 06 purchased in Aug 07
Speed Triple 1050
Kawi 650r
Tiger 1050
Honda CB450 thumper





I do worry that I may have to sell the t-bird (sold it) because 90% of the time I ride Honey Bee.
