Thread: Bike Porn - Regardless of the motor, Show off your "two wheeled" beasties

Went for a quick spin into town for fuel and some groceries (we were out of Easter eggs).
Fueled up with the NPD100. Good medicine for the Duke.

My skid machine has now been converted to a family wagon..

Found some old photos in the wardrobe today.

Those 80's air cooled KDX 200's were the bike to have in enduros. Lighter than the KDX 250 of the time and did it all. Nothing like a 125 MX bike for just pure fun. If I were 45 years younger again...

Had a RD 350 LC many moons ago. Bad lot of circumstances meant I didn’t get to ride it much.

RD400 was my first ever road bike. Lots of fun memories on that. Taught me never to lend a road bike to anyone though

Reed valve Yammy RD350 was a neat little unit too back in the day.. Of all my bikes however, the one i liked most and would have now was the 77 Honda CB750F - great old girl - marvellous cruiser.

One thing I've learned with bikes and cars is that the fastest, the most expensive, the most horsepower, the quickest to 100kmh etc - does not mean the best bike/car. Good performance yes, but a style you like, excellent ride/drive, comfort etc are better criteria. Unless racing...

My old trusty getting taken for a joy ride by a deer with no head. Still can't figure out how he could see where he was going!

present ride . . Triumph 900 Scrambler . . carb model

I had a Water Bus at the time, the first twin disc model, and a mate had a 400/4. You had to rev the shit out of the 400 to get it to do much, certainly wasn't on the same performance planet as the RDs. Super smooth though

I had the 350 Four and it wasn't a match for the CB350. Smooth as butter, yes indeed.

Gone to the dark side and bought a cruiser.

Well it has a cruiser engine anyway. 1670cc, 150nm torque at 3750RPM
The rest is proper bike. R1 suspension, 6 pot brakes, and alloy chassis.

very nice @Shearer ... they have a lot of presence in the flesh those machines. Bit on the heavy side but beats a straight out cruiser any day. Now just ditch the factory pipes and the ktm orange paint ..?
