Aye Michael,

Very nice, but I'm not sure about the quilted leather seat!  ??? My thoughts are that it would soak up the rain better than one of those cricket pitch dryers, leading to a rotting seat pan and a moist bottom for weeks after! Not so cool, unless your fetish is diapers!  :o

It's a bonny little thing.

I'm like limbo in that I know next to nothing about ducatis. I used to like the look of the darmah 900 and who didn't lust after the 750 ss.

What they've managed to get out of the panigale is amazing.

I would like to see them take the gp title this year. That would be some achievement.

Road bike wise I can see me on one of them there hypermotard thingys. Look well cool.  ;D

Morning chaps, it was and will always be the 500/600 pantah,s for me. To say I used to lust after the 500 when it first appeared on our shores would be an understatement. Gorgeous looking mosheens IMHO....one day maybe, one day

Morning chaps,  first off thanks Steve for the pantah links really enjoyed pouring over the pics. Especially the blue one, a 1980 model took me straight back there. I was riding an XL125 at the time that'd been passed down from my big bro, however I was just about to trade up to a brand spanking new cb250RS. Cracking bike had it quite a few years and did a lot of miles on it. Still recovering from my accident so the timing isn't quite right and I still av 5 bikes in the garage to sort once I'm completely fit, so don't want to be to greedy ;) ;). But again thanks for taking the time. Cheers...Michael

I'm afraid I think the back end of those Pantahs looks brute ugly. But that's only my opinion  ;)
