Re: Anyone here own an MB5?

^^^^^ I had that exact bike back in 1985. It was my first..., no-- second street bike if you count a Honda PA50 moped as a street bike. I had a ball riding that thing all around my city back then. Last I remember, parts weren't discontinued for it from the dealer.

You can make a sandwich waiting for it to come on the pipe, then eat it once it's in the power curve. When you're 16, it's kind of a cool bike I guess. My friend had this Kawasaki AR80. Now that bike was cool. I don't think I've ever seen another one in person. Anyone have one? Gotta be mega collectable. If I ever see one for a good price, I'd like to grab it.

What somebody needs to do, is make a bike like the MB5 again, only with say... a 100/150cc air cooled 4 stroke engine. Something like the CBR125 in Canada. It needs to be way cheap too-- like in the $2000 or less range. The problem is that you can grab up something like a late '70's Honda CM400 Hawk for about $800 in nice shape, or better yet-- a Yamaha Radian for $1200. --L*64
