That is one sweet looking motorcycle! But then I've always liked what you produce-I had your Cooley replica as my desktop photo for quite a while a few years ago.I am 6 feet tall. The Buffalo went on a diet and lost about 100 pounds during its transformation. I have not measured the seat height yet but I will. The bike feels and looks little for a 750. The modern suspension and running gear with 17" wheels make it handle like a modern bike and look really low. Actually, I have not had any clearance problems or drug any parts while using all of the Michelin Pilot Powers outer grip.

So my riding buddy and I went to the inaugural Kentucky Kickdown. Louisville was crawling with vintage cafes, bobbers, brats & choppers and many classic, original two wheeled machines. The event was held between Barrett Bar & The Monkey Wrench.

Coyote BSA with a nice original Benelli in background.
One of the many fine Hondas present.
Harris Framed KZ1000 racer.
Fine 750 chopper.
Another prime XS.
Seeley Honda Cafe.
My personal favorite of the show... Triumph

A short video walk-around of The Kentucky Kickdown 2013 to view all the two wheeled eye candy. For a first year event it was really quite well attended.
We did the Big Sid Memorial ride winding through the Kentucky hills and ending down by the river. Big Sid's son rode the famous "Vincati" built by Sid as seen in the shadows of the foreground.

So my November 2013 issue of Cycle World arrived and to my surprise I found myself, my son and my father all in the CW Rolling Concourse cover story photo leaving the Pagoda at Indy for the rolling portion of the show. Three generations of Suzuki riders from my family represented in this pic... Grandfather, son, grandson.

The Indy Pagoda in the early morning light with the sun coming up is a sight to behold!

It's dirty. It's loud. It's oily. Gas milage worse than my truck. It smokes... A LOT. But it is so F'n fun to ride.
The Buffalo emerges from it's winter slumber.

Very cool. The GT750 is on my wish list and looking at your bike keeps it on the list. Good job.Comment
