1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

There will probably be a kit to replace the fi with a carb and points ignition for those really needing that fully authentic old bike feel. Kidding of course but it's funny to see an old bike like this imported to the American market after all this time. If memory serves the sr500 didn't sell to well 30 years ago but oddly I like the idea of a simple urban run about.

"Riders will have to use the kickstarter and a hand-operated decompression lever to get the engine running. "
Not too sure about this being a starter bike. It is small enough for ladies, but do they really want to be seeing kick starting it, after stalling leaving a traffic light?
And at that price I rather buy two Cleveland Cycle werks ace, just in case one breaks down.

RE: 2015 Yamaha SR 400
I like it! Looks fun. Some will see it as overpriced and a little too heavy. The Suzuki TU250 was in this space but it isn't coming back for 2014. I don't know if it did very well or not.
I still think a 750cc standard is the sweet spot. An I4 750 styled close to the CB11 and/or even an 800cc V4 standard like the Sabre of the early '80's would rock. (Of course, I'm a bit partial to the V4s.)

I am waiting for Triumph to stuff a version of the 800 triple motor into a sporty standard or retro. I'll be first in line. Call it the Trident.
No more CB, but a GB.
Triumphs and Ducatis.
A Norton, MV, and Morini 175.
Probably others.

Kinda pricey; I'd check the dealers after they sit for a while.
Now if Honda did a GB650 based off the 650L motor.....

I think the seat could use a seam or two.

Got to love Craigslist..where else can they claim "unmolested show room condition" and " thousands of dollars in receipts" and "new paint" in the same list?
