199x^[1]-1998 Honda FT 500 '82

After I crashed my car, I bought this motorcycle (the one in front; Kampfbonsais GPZ900 in the back).

What sums this bike up for me?

had Koni back shock absorber
bad front shock absorber
oil leaking cylinder head^[2]
something loose in the exhaust
simple tech, easy to fix and maintain
good handling
Schuh mount and cases, looking not very stable but never let me down
won't start if not used for 14 days. Also when temperatures below zero. Unfortunately the FT is missing the XL's kickstart. :-(
pretty ugly :-)

After I bought the Pegaso my father inhertited the machine and drove it until 2011.

Footnotes:
