[Tanx] [External] Re: Bike for sale 1981 Honda 900 location Eastern CT

[Milt Rudy via Tanx]

Haven't seen a picture, but if it's the model I'm thinking of, it had a
"king/queen" seat and was a quasi-cruiser, what I used to call a
queasy-cruiser, and pretty ugly.  That's when Honda wanted some of the
cruiser market so they nibbled at the fringes but didn't want to compete
directly with H-D for fear of being accused of trying to drive the only
remaining American motorcycle manufacturer (out of the 100 or so that had
existed) out of business.  Yamaha had the Virago v-twin at about that time,
which was also scary-ugly, aimed at the same niche.
