It is definately a classic.

My next door neighbor's uncle has an old Harley that he modded and painted a nice green color (kind of like a very dark teal green that shined). Loved the sound, look and feel. He took me for a short ride down the block one day and I was sold. I'll try to get a pic or two.

The bikes I remember drooling over most when I was a little kid was Ninjas. But once I bought my '06 R6, it opened my eyes to a whole new world. The track. Been hooked since. Still love riding with buds on the streets, too.

The old RGV500s had the other two pipes coming out of the tail section(You can see the tips in that pic).

Edited to add: I first noticed bikes around 1985 when Honda was advertising the Interceptor and Suzuki was doing the same with the GSX-R, but at that point I just thought they looked cool. I took notice again around 90 or 91 when one of the bike mags put out an article with tuner bikes. If I remember there was a turbo Hurricane, a turbo ZX-11, and a few other bikes. Again if I remember correctly they were running around 190+ top speeds and it really caught my attention. All that stuff was nibbles though. Seeing, and more importantly hearing, a Ducati 851 with an exhaust on it really set the hook. That was almost 20 years ago and I can still recall the "What the fuck is that thing!" feeling.

I still dream about turbo'ing a hurricane. Maybe one day

No, it just made me realize that someone out there was reading my mind.
