Bikes, Who's got one then?

[Mothsiri]

And no I dont mean a Raleigh
Mines a Honda Vigor 650 (FX) Yellow, dont have a current picture, I painted the front mudguard and side panels yellow recently too. Got rid of the box and carrier, just a nice piece of shaped aluminum chequered plate.
Now all I need is the licence

I've got an '83 Yamaha XS400 DOHC  . But will need to give some tlc and mot before she goes back on the road... hopefully after Perran Meet.
Sorry, no pics on this laptop..  but here's one from the web.

Being a biker through and through, at the moment I've got a Ducati 900ss (goes like stink and handles really well) and an MZ etz 125 for pottering about on (great fun and cheap to run).

I started off with a Suzuki gp100, then 3 Honda cx500's, then a new Suzuki sv650s, then a Yamaha tdm850 which I rode to Hungary and sold here, then a Yamaha 750 exup, then a Ducati 900ss and finally an MZ etz 125. I quite fancy an 1100 Yamaha Dragstar next but ti will be a while before I can afford one

I've got a Honda 650 4, but it hasn't been run for over 8 yrs.
Had loads of bikes over the years, my fave being my Kawasaki EN500 that i customised with lots of chrome and stainless.That bike met a sorry end about 6 yrs ago and i haven't ran one since then.
Would love to get another for commuting/blowing out the cobwebs at the weekend, but everytime my financies improve another bill comes in.

I'd be happy if I could get my hands on an FJ1200 turbo... I could have some serious fun with that...  a 1983-4 would be nice as they still used chrome then..  

But still got the '83 xs400dohc.. but needs some tlc to make her pretty again, then in for MOT.

Previous bikes..

Loads of c50/70/90s.. got as mot failures and rebuilt for field racing as a kid.
Yamaha xs100.. came in boxes as neighbour destroyed head and pistol. Rebuilt it and used it to take test on.

Then I got a Suzuki GT200X5  .. cracking bike...went all over country on it. 200cc twin.. sounded really nice  as exhaust came out of each pipe in turn.

Also had a suzuki SP370- single cylinder 4 stroker..  real chugger.. but powerful as hell.  Could wheely in all 6 gears. But was sooo heavy..   but really great fun..  lol

Then the Yamaha XS400dohc.. sold in this year by Yamaha for just one year..  1983.  There were a few sold from old stock at agents in 1984. Mainlky sold thru-out eupore and states under slightly different name.

Also got a Suzuki GS550 to rebuild as a streetfighter...  but was forced to sell to fund new head for NEIMa last year..

So I'm not the only one to have a Honda plastic, er C50 Look at what I did to one of mine not to mention what I did to a C90 (missing 1st gear) I had 4 ish C50's, a H100, the C90 and finally a DT175 (heap of pooh!) The C50 that I painted black was the most fun.  The ''authoroties would never allow it pass a MOT if it were around now!!!!
I'm beginning to hear some of you laugh right now................. That was 25 years ago.

   Better late than never... I have a 1000 Suzuki and a zx10r Kawasaki

In an early attempt to save money on the daily commute I had one of these. 70+mpg but almost as slow as the Serena I was driving at the time and slightly less fashionable. Overtaking was always fun, you'd be rattling away fine in the slipstream then pull out and get hit by a gust of wind ending up with an HGV giving you a run for your money.

Gave up when I discovered veg oil, free fuel meant the Serena wasn't just warmer, drier and better on the dual carriageways it was cheaper too

i love bikes i started off when i was sixteen with a gilera 50 but i cant remember the model the timing kept going on it i then had a suzuki ap50, suzuki a100, yamaha yb100 which a hit and run drunk driver knocked me off of and i lost most of my left shin spent three months in stoke mandeville hospital    then i had a derbi senda which was quick for a 50 got 68 mph on the flat out of that, i then decided to grow up and did my test and got a kawasaki er 5 after i got used to bigger bikes i bought an fzr600 which was a bit heavy for me with my weak leg then i bought my beloved cbr600 which i sold last year to pay my income tax bill when my accountant messed my books up    i've regretted it ever since i'm planning to get another bike tho' when finances allow.
