Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

It was def a Honda custom 250 or 350cc, not sure about the model, cm250? There was talk of there being two bikes, one road, one off road, but maybe they only changed the rear tyre for the scenes at the lake, u can see that in the movie with the nobbly tyre on the back  and then road tyres for the street.
The fact i even remember this stuff makes me sad, but i like Prince and bikes  [Edited 2/17/06 14:28pm] \o/\o/ ° The Breakdown = Best Prince song for 20 years | |

[Edited 2/17/06 14:28pm] It was a Honda, but definately bigger than a 350. I'm guessing a CB650 or CB750 (probably 750). | |

Thank you I win no further questions your honour. Yeah, except that this is also a CB750, and it looks a lot more like the PR rain bike that the two you posted.  | |

No way...far too small to be a Goldwing. I'm almost positive it was a CB750K. | |

My husband states that it was a Kawasaki KZ400. He's a bike guy, so I trust his judgement. He also says that if you bust out the DVD, you may see the logo on the battery cover. I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here. | |

----- Now this thread has gone all Kwakers 
I must say having just checked out the KZ400 on google, it is totally the wrong shape compared to P.R bike.
The plot thickens, i must remind you the Purple man is 5ft odds. [Edited 2/19/06 18:04pm] \o/\o/ ° The Breakdown = Best Prince song for 20 years | |

u guys do realise that bike models do tend to change especially seeing as that movie is over 20 years old, and some of the pics posted look a lot like more recent models of bikes.
So if some1 could get a 1980s model pics that would b betta Receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antenna. Do you read me Lieutenant Bowie, I said do you read me...Lieutenant Bowie | |
