Sadly no longer with me 🙁

I'm thinking of doing a few classic bike track days this year & I'm wondering whether to get the FZ out there or buy a YZF750 or TRX850 for a bit of fun.

These are my two previous ones, I'm a bit poorer after a divorce so don't have any motorbikes just now, just an MX5.
The itch for a wee VFR400 is strong though

My first bike, a little Yamaha single
[img] ?oh=ceef3206b8c08dd241077f424ab46c48&oe=595DE0C2[/img]
Good bike but not great on the motorway!

The GSXR that replaced the Yamaha
[img] ?oh=a0677ee336a6e32a9834f11c873dc6ca&oe=5967E0DF[/img]

Unfortunately....
[img] ?oh=7407bc3eaba9c6459ab436f6f4a056e9&oe=595C9F6B[/img]

Then I bought my Buell
[img] ?oh=7c0630e753ae14f3d820416e0cf2e28b&oe=59732DA1[/img]
Great bike if a little hard to get parts and spanner on so:

My Triumph
[img] ?oh=21220985b45cd6e454e0d09905344d79&oe=5973035D[/img]
Imagine the Buell with a turbo charger on it.

I shall try to remember to take a picture of mine on the ferry later today, on the way to Seville... 😀

No idea how to post this as a pic so a link. That's mine, with a damaged wheel.

Probably need to spend more time riding them than buying/selling them, weeksy...

I do OK, i've toured Europe, ridden at Spa, Jerez, Portimao, i've raced a 916, GSXR-750 for 2 seasons, i've done over 100 trackdays, i think i've earned my stripes 🙂

I shall try to remember to take a picture of mine on the ferry later today, on the way to Seville...

Good luck with that one, Seville's miles inland 😀

Mine (well, not exactly mine, but exactly the same model+colour):

Here's mine taken a few minutes ago outside my house. It's a 2012 ER6n. Perfect for commuting into Vienna as I can park it wherever I want for free. That small snow covered peak you see is Schneeberg in the Austrian Alps.

Been riding since 1981. Done sportsbikes, done supernakeds, loved them all, but these days I've gone full Luddite and both my bikes are air cooled. The highest tech is the ABS on the Beemer.

The itch for a wee VFR400 is strong though

Do it, they are such great fun bikes, small and chuckable with endless possibilities for upgrades if you like fettling, also classic insurance and cheap tax.

I also have a fireblade, but the nc30 is a bike I can honestly never see me selling.

ZX9R still great cheap fun. I am also thick and cannot post pics!

Loving that TDR.

That TDR must have been a laugh!

I sold my last bike as I hardly used it (<600 miles from new iirc). It was a lot of fun but ultimately fairly pointless... Here it is anyway:

[img] [/img]

Some day I'd like an old-school Yamaha xt600 for bimbling around on.

The CRF450R was reserved for a member on here recently but he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth 🙄

[img] [/img]

No longer have a motorbike anymore. Suddenly had the jitters after 17years of riding and moved over to a car completely.

Honda hotnet btw.

I bought the TDR in 1991 when it was 6 months old with 700 miles on it. The first owner (aged 68!) PX'd it for something really bland as he thought it was too manic for his daily commute.
I did loads of mods to it including the following:
285cc big bore and wide spread porting by Bob Farnham
Front exhaust pipes gutted and DEP silencers
TZR250 wheels etc.
I sold it to a good friend and am still involved with the bike. The supermoto wire wheels with fat rims are recent additions and it rolls really well on those as well as finally getting the look that I was after.

Gah - forgot to take pic of bike on ferry. Can just about manage one of my cabin!

[img] [/img]

Here he is, getting all "adventure" in Aragon, Spain. Surprised it was completely okay to ride 160bhp bike offload, to be honest. Not an issue at all, once I remembered to disable ABS.

Now sadly gone - my last motorised steed before the pedal powered bikes took over...

Husaberg 450 up a mountain in the Pyrenees..... It was a very close shave with what could have have been a very serious accident up in the mountains on this trip that caused me to reconsider my dirt biking hobby.

MTB's were the only way forward.

1966 Dnepr K-750M with sidecar, 2 wheel drive and reverse.

Also have an original BSA C15 pre-65 trials which is currently being restored and a boring modern Honda CB500X.

Nice ball slicer on the pillion seat there

Now it's all pedal power in my garage

I went the other way when mtb standards went nuts, at least an old two stroke is already a smokey, oily, prone to eating itself thing that's challenging to get parts for and somewhat obsolete!

Poor thing is now providing the base for a worktop in the garage. Don't want to ride it, can't bear to sell it, ah well...

SV650S with upgraded everythings.

That Honda is a real cracker. Can't beat a 1970s Honda.

Can we have some more pic please.

I don't even ride motorbikes, but that Honda VFR is as close to perfect (looks wise) as you can get in my worthless opinion. It's a thing of beauty. No idea if they're any good though?
I remember building an Airfix model of one when I was about ten.

Kawasaki Ninja 650R Krt 2017. Only had it for two weeks so still running in.

Just been to look at an Enfield trials bike but not up to much. What I really want is an old Triumph Trophy ISDT bike 😆 or something that could become something vaguely similar.

@tootallPaul yes it started out as an XBR500 but now has CBR600 forks wheels and brakes, chopped subframe with some random race seat and NX650 engine conversion. I really should dig it out.

Current bike, 7th Triumph in a row!
