Raleigh Runabout bought 1974 with seized engine for a fiver spare engine bought for a quid hand painted by my mum in the kitchen, I then traded it in she wasn't impressed.
Honda SS50 4 speed indestructible but slow Fizzy owners laughed a lot.
GT185 Suzuki quite nice except against the wind my mates CB200 left it for dead he was two up.
CB400F Loved it.
CB750FB great looking bike but very tall fell off a lot at stand still, weaved over 80 ok two up. I was a lot lighter back then.
CB400NC Superdream really very good used it as dispatch bike for a while cruised all day at 80 and handled ok. sounded awful though.
GSX400F Suzi looked ace but no faster than the CB400F.
VF400F Very fast for a 400 handled well complicated to service.
GPZ750A5 Last one with the full fairing lovely bike.
CB750FX First of the Double OHC with 4/4 pipes jap import very smooth and handled better than the FB.
GPZ550A4 Another great Kwack should have kept it.
955 Sprint ST. Lovely engine gave me pins and needles in my wrist, getting old now.
FZS600 fox eye. What can I say that hasn't been said riding position of an 80's bike plus modern handling and engine lovely on fast A roads nip and tuck.
FZS1000 As above plus that engine best bike (so far)
