Suzuki TL1000 Flat Tracker |
IAman is thinking about buying a motorcycle, so after lunch yesterday we stopped by Bob Lanphere's Beaverton Motorcycles. The place is crazy, they must have over a thousand units, bike and quads. The variety is mind boggling, cruisers, motocross bikes and everything in between. I have never heard of some of the brands, and some, like KTM, I have no idea where they came from. I mean, back in the day they didn't exist.
On top of all the bikes they have for sale, they also have a collection of older motorcycles, some of them going back to the 1940s. There must 200 of them on display, all ten feet off of the floor to keep them out of the reach of gear-poking tourists. More photos here.
The Suzuki Flat Tracker caught my eye, perhaps the lack of gloss made it more real.
KTM is an Austrian motorcycle, bicycle and motorsports brand which traces its foundation in 1934 as Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen. They are well respected in Europe for their off-road bikes and scramblers
