But if you're gonna go radiador, I think they did a decent job by designing tall, thin and narrow as opposed to square and thick as you see on some new bikes like the the Yamaha xsr900 for example.

14.5. $ 14,500. Missed a decimal point or a zero lol

I thought that might be it

$1450 was close to what my XS650 cost in 1975. I THINK the Triumps were around $1800-2100?
