When I passed my test in 1985, I went straight to a Kwak 750 Turbo. TPFT was £250. I thought that was a steal.
Nowadays I'm not sure who's stealing from who......... :\

Denco tuned and mad as a box of rabid amphibians. Had it on the same policy as my turbo, so only a few quid extra. They should have been paying me to keep it off the road!

Me too, at the moment I pay £116 fully comp for my fazer thou, there was cheaper but they worked out more expensive by the time you added the extras, I have insurance with Bennett's.

Ok, someone's gonna die! Someone's gonna foccin DIE!! Who's nicked all me bike photos?!! :2guns
Can't find me snaps at the mo, but think it was on a P plate. It sat in Powerhouse (Kwak dealer) in Enfield for ages - was there before I passed my test and I used to go and drool over it. I didn't keep it for long as I was actually scared to ride it most of the time! Full Denco porting spec, 34mm Mikunis, Denco spannies.... and to control all this? Marzocchi Stradas on the back and, erm, that was it! It literally shredded a rear Pirelli Phantom in a couple of hundred miles :eek

-
Ahhh, the ol' Dunlop Ditchfinders! :lol
I think I paid about £1700 for this one. When I sold it, I was based in Germany with the RAF, and I drank the proceeds.... :b
When you got it to about a ton, you weren't actually holding the grips anymore - they were just kinda of a blur in your hands, and it used to rattle the headlamp bulb out every time I took it out - it'd just be lying in the bottom of the h/lamp bowl when I got back!
As for the noise......!!!!!!! :eek :eek :eek :b :b :b :b A mate of mine took it out for a spin, about a 4 mile circuit, an I swear I heard it all the way round!
A little old lady who lived nearby actually came up to me and said, I've reported you to the local policeman because of that racket!! Only the local copper was my dad, and no one had said anything to him :rollin
D'you remember the gear change? 1 up and 4 (or was it 3? :rolleyes ) down, and a pig of a gearbox. I accidentally pulled some pretty spectacular (wobbly!) wheelies leaving High Beach on a few occasions cos it was a bugger to get 2nd sometimes so I'd kick at it in frustration! :lol
I'll never have another one tho - my 2nd was a US H2B, found to have cracks in the c/cases around the rear engine mounts. Tried to get it welded, but as soon as you applied the heat, it'd just crack and distort elsewhere - made of chocolate :\
-
yea and it didnt take long to reach a ton did it? :eek ....the biggest problem i had with mine was?...there would always be someone wanting to race you?...250/350 rds etc the odd kettle and even kwack 9,s...you knew you could make em look stupid?...but"...if you couldnt keep that fkn front wheel down you made yourself look a twat!! :rolleyes ...all i used to do was wait for the straights and cream em? :b ....they couldnt come past me cus they couldnt see for fkn smoke :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin .....loved it!! :lol it was a 4 speed wasnt it??...there where loads of false neutrals but biggest problem with mine was clutch issues?...allways having to adjust it after every blast!! it was a bstd!!...i sold mine on advice of me doctor?...he said get rid or die??...hence am still here?.....ps he was a biker too!!!!!
