The Futura is a nice bike if you can find a nice one, not been made for a number of years. Chain noise is a bit much (cam chains), otherwise pretty cool machine. Friend had one a number of years back. Hey with all those cool machines, where's the MV?

Btw, a few years ago I messed up my back (non-transporation accident) so I have to be very careful of riding positions. I'm also like 3 years younger than you, couple years don't matter much at this point
