1000 ways to have fun with bikes - with a motor or without.
It was fascinating as a very young fella watching the development of the jap machines. Very early 60s ones like the little Honda 125 Benley, then the Honda 305 Dream. Bit young for those but then in late 60s/early 70s we had some the real milestone bikes that changed the motorbike market forever. These included the Suzuki T20 (6 speed 250), the awesome Kawasaki 500 triple H1 - a helluva machine. Then the first of the superbikes - the CB750F four Honda - and a little later the mighty Kawasaki Z1 900. Great to see even now.
I had the 1971 T250R Suzuki - a very quick little 2-stroke, and a bit later three 750 fours - a 1977 CB750F, late 80s Suzuki GSX750, and a very fast '86 Yamaha 750FZ. FZ Yamaha by far the quickest and a brilliant roadholder for the day, but the older Honda '77 CB750F easily my favourite. Brilliant old cruiser - very comfortable for hour after hour of open road riding.
