Many of todays replica Cobras (or continuation models as far as that goes) are also about "form". And thats OK.
Some race, some do shows, some do both! It's all good.
I ride my Scooter because it's so "practical" for what I do. But it sure was fine to jump on my friends Hog the other day! I love that heavy exhaust note, the rumble of it all. Hogs are still king of the road (all 1.3 million of them here in Hawaii).
