Alang isn't really a city it's a community devoted to workers who break up the ships .... It's not a tourist friendly town ...- bccap

A friend of mine and myself both bought bikes in 83 . He opted for the XN-85 and I bought a GS 750 .... We raced a few times and the XN 85 was slower than the 750. Not by a lot but we did it enough times to draw that conclusion .... Mind you it is one fine looking bike .....- bccap
