Tis a long story - cheers Stormy.

Compared to my Goldwing .... it's a lightweight at "only" about 300kg !!! Dropping it is not in the plan.

Re: Stock 23mm or 26/27mm rear torsion bar?

Extra point if you recognise the exact Suzuki model in the background (it's not common !)
1970 Suzuki T125 Stinger with the black intermittent tail pipe (if all chrome between the silencer and tail pipe it would be a T125 Flying Leopard)
Extra point granted - congratulations !
