whats peoples opinion on this

[perdition]

cafed 500 pantah, looks a bit spindly from the front ???

[Captain Starfish]

Just as ugly as all your other old dukes mate

[R160]

I believe they ran 35mm forks,

[Mr John]

Ugly yes, on the bright side it looks less like a Hyosung than other Dukes.

[Jack the Lad]

I think it looks ok, definately old skool.

Would help to have the head light/instrument cluster mounted closer to the forks or perhaps a bikini fairing??

[Tin Tin]

I like it, looks awesome I have a big soft spot for these sort of bikes .... except for those wheels, jesus.

[Arwon]

riding those bikes increases your corner speed dramatically... cause there brakes suck big time.

On the plus side, your hands become a lot stronger.

Didn't they bring out the Katana 1100 poster with that nude sheila on it? Now that was ground breaking.

yeah it turn out to be a tarted up pantah, still had the half fairing fot it , nice paint, but dodgey on other details

same mob at a cb750 for sale as well , m bars fitted and new paint job

wanted silly money for both tho

[R160]

just keep saving :-)

[rod]

You wouldn't want to pay much for it - they've wrecked it by painting it custom stylezzz with the red and the stripes and HOYVEN MAVEN look at those wheels.....

[R160]

better off buying an italjet hey Rod :-)
Go on Corky

I doubt it's been "cafed" it's just a SL500 without a fairing, a crap paint job, 2into1 system that looks like its been made out of a few beer cans,and a round taillight which obscures the tailpiece... if you must decide to buy it don't pay more than $2K...
as a long term & proud Pantah owner I say shame to whoever barstardised that one.

I'd have to agree with that. I thought these sorts of bikes were supposed to be like a fine wine or a nice piece of art that appreciates with age. Then someone comes along and basterdizes it thinking that it looks good. I mean, Im all for modifying things but it should have been done with a little more style....
