My LC is ready for me to go and ride tomorrow, im somewhat nervous as the last time I rode one was 1986, the engine has been fully rebuilt , its cost me a lot of ££ and ill be gutted if it doesnt run right .
Im also a tad concerned its going to be as good as I hope it will be...I know it looks fantastic anyway.
Ill post some pics and a report up tomorrow anyways..I shant sleep very well tonight thats for sure!

Thansk chaps.
I bet it did! They are so slim, the first time I saw the airbox sitting on the frame I was in disbelief, just tiny compared to what we have nowadays.
Cant wait to get it home mate, sadly my Hayabusa has to go to a storage place down the road before I can get the LC in my garage, just no room for 3 bikes in there.

I'm in the same boat, haven't ridden an LC since about 1991 and I've just bought one.
I was told not to expect too much, we like to look back through rose tinted spectacles but its worth remembering its a 33yr old bike and if you've ridden anything modern then its going to feel a bit wooden.

I brought my first 350 LC last November after never actually getting one when I was younger! Best thing I ever did.... Glad I didn't get one when I was younger as I now appreciate it for what it is and I would have had no respect for it if I was 18! Also I can honestly say I have more fun on my LC than I did on any of my GSXRs or Hayabusas what a great bike it is  Er..... Except the brakes, they really are wooden!!  |

Don't compare it to anything modern. However, the bike has the feel of an old race classic and the smile on your face will make all your efforts worth while, enjoy.
