My dream bike would be one that rides like a modern bike but looks like an early 80s AMA Superbike, it's never going to happen, and building one is more difficult than it at first appeared.

This is right up Pony's street.

I remember lusting after one in the pages of my pocket guide to motorcycles when I was 15.

This my pal's race bike. New paint job after it caught fire 🔥
I love the 80s retro look. I'd be happy with that paint job on mine.
