Title: God how 70's
Post by: Rozabikes Tim on September 03, 2026, 08:07:58 PM
I know its just so fast with the colour involved (Dave) but how typical of a 70's customised bike is this? http://

How old was the programme?

It's the seat that is faster, not the bike!  ;D

Nice little handlebar fairing, I guess it keeps the clocks dry?

The extras all late 70’s 400/4 owners lusted after Tim👍. Doesn't it look the business 😎

I still think that seat was a fashion crime like male perms, platform shoes, Bellbottoms, giant ties and big dagger collars!  ;D Never, but absolutely never would I put crash bars on a 400/4!  :o
