Yeah, they are pretty slow in factory trim so definitely needed a power boost LOL :sneaky2:

 

I took one out for a test ride and quickly returned it to the stealership, a turbo busa definitely moves into hyperbike territory.

 

Jon.

 

Believe it or not, but you actually get used to it and start missing the eyelid peeling feeling you had when your brain wasn't used to it. Then the expensive stuff starts..... :lol:

Yamaha DT125 (x2)

Honda XL250

Had another 250 which I can't remeber the make of (may have been a Suzuki) but had a big bore kit fitted to it then sold it without riding it.

 

Currently have a Yamaha XT600E which has an ardent collection of dust covering it (courtesy of my mates barn it's currently living in). I think I'll take it out next week for spin and do some green laning.

 

Was planing on doing a trip next year for my 40th. The plan was to climb Killimanjaro and come back across Africa on bikes. Then Kenya went awol and put the mockers on it. May just ride out to Egypt and see an old school mate who's running a marina on the red sea coast instead.

 

If anyone has any other ideas for a trip worth doing on bike then let me know. Thanks.

 

Nearly forgot, I had a KTM Duke 650e. A real beast of a bike. Used to scare the life out of me so I sold it to some bloke and he had less experience than me :lol:

MZ TS 250 (an awfull russian / cheq republic lump of pig iron)

DT175 MX

AR125 (the first legal road bike)

Honda C50 step thru

Suzi RM250 crosser

Honda C90 step thru

and finaly and best of all a 1978 Honda CB750F integra ltd edition, italian import in showroom condition only 5k dry miles on clock from new. I sold it 2 years ago on the bay of hate for not enough. Deep regret now as I will never get another like it.

 

All of the other bikes were cheapo piles of toot in comparison.

Gilera Enduro 50 (Fast & rare!)

 

Awesome bit of kit, the local farmers son had one and we all lusted after it - can remember the day he let me have go on it "up the lane" - no helmet and 15yrs old :good:

 

I've had:

 

Puch grand prix 50 Again very fast, but bloody unreliable)

 

DT125LC Jacked up, micron can, etc

 

Bultaco 350 Sherpa Should never have sold it as it's a collectors jobby now

 

DT250 aircooled Which I rode from Bruton in Somerset, to Chelmsford Essex :lol:

 

Green Z650F4 A right dog :good:

 

Black Z650F4 Rode round Northern Spain with Mrs P. on this

 

BMW K75s Very smooth, very boring

 

BMW R1100s Top bike, just too expensive to maintain properly and a dodgy finish on the forks

 

CBR600s Nothing you can say really

 

XLR250 Green laned for a bit, but had to sell

 

Fireblade 958 Written off with 35000 miles that I put on it - best bike I've ever had

 

CB500s Bought for peanuts and sold for a fortune and a RIGHT hoot, dragging the footpegs on soooo many bends

 

Fireblade Nice, but not as nice as the 1st one and I'll probably have this for some time, not allowed another :P

 

 

 

 

I've been weighing up the pros and cons of a BMW 1150GS, as Mrs P's still on about "travelling"

 

Wouldn't give bikes up though, was out at 0500 this morning on the Blade to go to work, big grins :good:

Not as many as some others on here but more than I realised:

 

Royal Enfield 125 "Flying Flea"

 

BSA 250 of some sort (can't remember which model)

 

Honda 125

 

Honda 250 Superdream (several)

 

OSSA (405cc?) ISDT Replica

 

Kawasaki GT750

 

Honda VFR750 which still resides in garage but not ridden for last cople of years - too many cars!

 

 

Some of us on here are giving our ages away with the early models and makes. Always lusted after a Tiger Cub but spent several years abroad when I was young and could never afford one on my wages.

Desperately wanted a Gold Wing or Harley Davidson but "she who must be obeyed" has really thrown her toys out of the pram over this. She reckons my eyesight is going and my reaction time is getting too slow. Bloody cheek!

 

Trouble is, she`s probably right.
