We worked on this a couple of weeks ago for a customer and when he came to pick it up, he mentioned that he was thinking about selling it. We made an offer and I picked it up a few days later. 2003 military ES model. 2400 miles on her. It was just going to be the shops errand bike.



That was until another customer stopped in this afternoon and we picked up the new errand runner. I think they will get ran a little quicker on this one.



I think the military may be for sale soon

That Military is a rare bird it would seem,  4spd ES..  I wonder how many of those sold here?

I think we sold 4 or 5 of those military's. They were our best selling one, they never lasted long. The Cafe Racer has a 535 kit, cams, stage 1 or 2 head and a 34 mikuni carb. Should be a run little runner. I have an alloy barrel laying around that needs bored out, it sure would look good on the Cafe bike.

I think the Military might be heading onto the showroom floor later today. The Cafe Racer is just more fun to ride.  :D

Oh man... if I was anywhere near you I would buy that bike.  It's a splitting image of mine, but in way better shape (except mine is rh-shift).  I searched for this model for ages til I found mine and got kind of a bum deal.

If I got hold of that Military it'd end up looking something like the cafe bike...

(although probably not running, either, judging by the state of my own machine.)
