Sure looks like a hybrid version of the C10 and C14 :)  The ONLY detractor I see is the overly large front fender.  Nice bike for sure.

Not sure what's worse the front fender or the squareness of the whole thing. Ahhh, it's probably the spooge  :pukeface:

Wow! Can't believe that was 22 years ago. I was riding an Eliminator then.

I was riding a 1977 Honda 550 four supersport in '91.





Paid $400 for it in 1987 and it only had 3000 miles on it.  Wish I still had it.

I think it's kind of cute. Looks as good as some old Japan sport tourers. You can't get much in those panniers, though. Change of underwear and a coke, that's about it.

And since we are bragging, I was riding this.

Believe I have a buddy here in the Bay Area that's getting rid of one with a full Vetter fairing...want me to check price for you?
