Looks pretty good. Definitely a lot shinier than my 74

I saw and read that earlier today. After I viewed the video road test, one has to wonder why do people short shift or shift early through the gears on a 2 stroke?  :bang: :help:

He may be short shifting first and second, but he is hauling ass.

The neighborhood in the vid is not far from my house and 65mph on those surface streets is no joke.

I saw his speeds in the video and the bike sounds like it is running healthy. Sure would have been nice to hear him let her scream into the power band though....

BaT seems to be the "go to" site to sell a special interest vehicle these days. Sure wish I'd known about it 3 yrs ago when I sold a collector car.

My boss bought a March Formula Ford on BaT about two years back, he hasn't talked about the website since. I'm not sure what bearing that has on this conversation, but it seems somewhat relevant.

Also, great looking 350!

The seller 911r (a dealer I assume) is very active on that site and sells a ton of vehicles, primarily Porsches. He had a nice Pantera I was drooling over recently

Agreed.  I def should have sold my KH400 on there last year instead of Craigslist.

Oh- I love Panteras! As a 15 yr old boy, I got to sit in a white one in the drivers seat.
