It's H-D based so most guys will call it domestic or even go as far as to call it "American" built. We havent had a 100% USA built bike in years.
But it really deosnt matter. I dont like to classify bikes,or cars, like that.

I have two classes: 1-i will own it
2-i won't own it

If you dig it,ride it! All I want in any vehicle,2 or 4 wheeled, is fast,dependable and comfortable.

My ol' imported Honda is bone stock. It weighs a little under 500 lbs and had 76 hp in 1976 when it was built. It'll do 120 in third gear(its a 5 speed)with plenty of room to spare and gets 45-50 mpg.I'm too big aof a wimp to wrap the speedo past the 150 mark like my Dad used to with his.He put over 100,000 miles on his CB750 and never replaced a single part. I love a CB750. They are just too fast and dependable for the money invested. That pic above of my bike,I have a total of $800 in that bike and $300 of that is tires. I am in the market for a nice Triumph if the $$$ is right,though.



Ok guys,the Honda commercial over now :lol:
