Red 9R Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) A Red Kawasaki ZX9R Its the best bike I have had in 20 years of rideing, fast when you want it to be, comfy enough to tour on and fine round town when I am teaching.

pigeon master Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 My last bike was the Montessa Cota 315R Trials bike. What a machine, I wish I had it now as I would'nt mind taking all my shooting kit to them fields that nearly give you a heart attack getting too. Had some great days out but give it up after I put the handle bar into my groin climbing out of a river embankment, ouch it hurt. Always wanted a road bike but Im convinced I would be dead within a few months so never bothered. The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilishdave Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 It was going on the back of my cousins RD350YPVS as a nipper that gave me the bug for bikes. Had a go on a GSXR 1k now that is a beast with sharp teath, just waiting to savage you if you dont treat it right. Oh and the mad man who lent it to me had droped two teath from the front sprocket so it hoisted the front with even more ease, as if it needed it!!
