Oh man are those just cool little bikes. I had the CSR which was the cruiser model. The GPz came out right after I bought mine. I think they sold maybe 50 of those things total in the whole U.S. A real one year model. Ahead of its time, too small for what most folks wanted then.

I had a 305 as my first bike.  My brother still has it, but it's sat so long, he's contemplating just seeling parts off it.  It was fun, but I didn't love it, and parts are hard to come by.  They sold it over in europe for a few years...

What did I do to deserve this life?  And how do I do it again?

How can a 30 year old bike have only 4476 miles? That's bike abuse! Help stop bike abuse, ride often!

Looks like they sold a bit more in Canada and Europe than the 50 they sold in the U.S. that year ;D
