    That is a very tidy example. It wont be long before this model becomes very collectable (more than it already is..)

Nearly every time..

    W650 kwaka certainly looks like a Bonnie - or perhaps a Saint. Be a nice cruiser. Could be tempted by something like that - or a Suzi SV650. Neither particularly powerful, but both ideal road cruisers.
    I have a slightly modded 2003 SV650. Shock, forks, pipe etc. It lifts it's skirt on the run quite well. Wouldn't swap it for much and couldn't, as they are soo cheap to buy. Absolute bargain bicycle. Get one.

    first bike was a honda 100CC 2 stroke...yes that is correct MB100 my elder sis bought it new...when the electrics failed and it kept blowing bulbs and bike shop couldnt/wouldnt fix..bought a honda cb250rs loved that bike but got too cocky and had one spill to many,when it was fixed in shop ,traded it for a 400cc suzuki and hated the pig of a thing the whole time I owned it...sold that off after one spill to many..riding pissed tends to do that..... how the hell I ever survived the many many times I did so I will never know...

    the things we do when young dumb and full of cum....
    most fun bike I ever rode was a mid 80s XR200.... it was better than the 250 of same vintage and just went....old suzuki 185 mudbug was fun too with big wide handlebars and peppy engine that would pull wheelies....

    Nice Yammie
    In about 3–4 months, when my cancer rates hit remission based on current numbers, I’m buying this little angel
    Already got signoff from the CEO, and checking out trackdays.

    1989 and 1990 ZXR400 setup for post classic and f3

    Any ideas how we go about getting rid of this collection.
    We are selling the house and moving south
    Contact your local racing club
    The ZXR 400 groupies will appear from nowhere.
    Might be interest from within the club on some of the others as well

    I'm pretty sure I have ridden thru that crossing there on a trail ride several years back. I remember it because the rocks were seriously slippery, the fella in front of me dropped his bike in the water and I rode over top of him. Then we spent quite a bit of time getting his bike running again. Good times.

    You know that’s too pretty to ride, right ?
    Now find a nice twisty piece of road, and let her seduce you.
    Always liked the 1199 over the 1098

    The 1199 reminded me of the 996, and that baby is stunning.

    HMMMM MILD MANNERED Really My last 3 were a Yamaha FZR 1000 a triumph 900 legend and a honda CB1300S I miss my FZR balsy old girl - the triumph was crap but sounded bloody neat and the CB 1300S well didn't do half bad impression of a dragster with taps opened up effortless motor
