Riding History.What bikes have you had?
« on: 05 May 2017, 10:54:26 pm »
It seems a lot of us have had a long time in the saddle. I was wondering what bikes we've owned in chronological order.

Started with scooters, a Yamaha Cygnus 125



That got nicked, so I replaced it with a Piaggio B125



Being Italian, it eventually fell to bits, so I scrapped it and bought a Honda CBF125



Then passed my test and bought a Honda CB500s



Rode the wheels off it, until it came to a point where I was fed up of fixing things on it, and it was costing me more than it was worth, so sold it and bought my current boxeye Fazer 600


Everyone has to believe in something. I believe Ill have another beer

Honda c90 fun little single cylinder
Gpz 500 nippy parralel twin
Rvf 400 razor sharp v4 impprt, good brakes.
2001 zx6r average 600, bit heavy, fast enough.
2002 gsxr 750 Absolute weapon, light, very fast
1998 fazer 600 the latest, comfy and fast enough as we all know, better suspension and headlights would be ideal
Looking for a 2004 zx10r, k5 gsxr 1000 or a 2002 blade as a second bike next year

The year i had them and the bikes age

1977 FS1E-DX (first and only new bike)
1979 RD250C (1976) Still got it and rebuilt it 1990 and used for a couple of years before going to the back of the garage
1980 CB200 (1977)my one and only H*^D4
1981 Moto Guzzi Le Mans II (1980) still got it in bits in one of my garages
1985 RD250DX (1977)
1989 X7 (1979)
2007 Boxeye 600 (1999)
2009 (March) Gen 1 (2002)
2009 (September) Gen 1 (2003) my current bike
2011 KMX200 (1992) thought I'd give green laneing a go.


Not many in all my years but usual big gap due to the usual GF plea of 'when are you going to get a car' and family commitments
