My mind didn't even aknowledge that there was a motorcycle in that pic until I looked at it for about the third time.
And, yes, I admit that the term "sixety-nine" had crossed my mind a time or two prior to noticing the bike......
Some people are like Slinkies.
They're really good for nothing.
But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I experienced a similar difficulty recently when a friend showed me a GSX-R600 that was selling locally for a good price.  I stared and stared and for the longest I could not find a bike in the picture!  Here, you look and see if you can find it.  Really, it's there, just keep staring.  It's some kind of trick photography or something and it'll take awhile for you to get your focusing adjusted just right.

Don't you just love the look of a nice pair of dual high mounts?????

Sigh.
I just asked my girl friend to put on my riding jacket and climb on the Bandit, but it just wasn't the same.
She blames the bike, but I dunno.........

I just now found both bikes you guys are talking about.  I had to ask my wife for some help.  She found them right away.  I don't get it.  She always did pay attention to the details.

For the yellow, the rearsets are the best part;
very robust & naked for the make/model.
The headlights scream shoddy aftermarket, and
maybe even a bad installation.

The 69 model looks pretty stock; even the color.
