Yes it has a horn. If you think your CRF450 is expensive to overhaul try one of these.

Back in the old days when they were 5 grand a piece I had a couple of SS and a Hailwood. None of which I wished I had kept. If you have to go nostalgic with a Duke then 86 F1 for me is the best of them.

Yeah I have a soft spot for them and the 916 is probably the best looking sports bike of all time.

For me the 86 F1 Pantah with the big clutch was the high point. Not for any special reason except I lusted after one at the time and the engine was bomb proof, as opposed to being a ticking bomb like the bevels.
