Great bikes, all. I'd kill for an HD Topper. Rare as hen's teeth. Honda
90s were the biggest selling bike, worldwide, in the history of motorcycles.
They still command high resale prices, specially during these high gas price
times. Yamaha was the epitome of good Japanese 2-strokes. Kawy's were
faster, Suzy's scarier, but Yammys were just simply better.
