That shinko link is wrong it shows a 17" front and 18" rear, the other one looks right, 16" tires. - Gene

It's on that site, it reset my search for some reason.   Shinko does have a 16 hoop

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Love the clock and the fuel gauge!
Most disable the clock since it is a major drain on the battery, fine when it is in the garage on a battery tender, not so good on an overnight trip. The fuel guage is usually not reliable at informing you of fuel level. - Gene

Maybe I am jumping to conclusions based on the "quality" of the pics and the fact that the poster couldn't even be bothered enough to put together a single sentence for the listing, but my guess is that the clocks and gauges are the least of one's worries with that bike....

Just providing information, when looking at a PASO these are things to keep in mind. I'm also not aware they made the bike in that color. - Gene

I didn't mean to come across as contradicting your statement. As an actual Paso owner (yes I'm jealous :-[) I'm sure you have a lot more knowledge of Pasos than I do.  I was just having some fun at the craigslist poster's expense. For some reason it drives me crazy when people post crappy photos and no text with their ads, especially when their bike looks so sad.

They did make a blue 750 Paso, just not THAT blue. Here's a pic of a blue 750:

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

White bikes can be hit or miss for me.  That SS is definitely a "hit"; very tastefully done.

The one thing I would change is the clutch pressure plate. The red is not working for me; I'd go basic black
