When I graduated from High School and was going to head off to college, my parents bought me a bike (of my choosing, within reason) to get around campus. I ended up going with a Black and Silver ’96 A2R, which was on sale as it was the last year’s model.
I liked the elliptical frame tubes and light weight, I’ve always liked things that were trick/unique like that.
After all of these years, I really had no idea how rare barracudas are! Instead of doing a minor tune and probable repaint (surface rust spots!) I’m thinking a full restoration is in order. I’ll have to post some pics later.
