The cool bike thread......

[coffee]

Not one of my favourite bikes normally but that one is fabulous. WOW ! :thumbup

[ogri48]

yup. im not a cat person (but very much a dog person) but gotta admit thats, well, the dogs bollocks...

[Gnasher]

Love the Kats, I prefer them not messed about with, but good looking bike all the same  8) 

[ogri48]

i remember sitting on one in a showroom when they first appeared. they looked so radical, particularly because you sat in it instead of on it. at the time, it was a little too much for me, but it was the shape of things to come.

[Gnasher]

One of the best things about my GSX-R1100 was the feeling of 'sitting in' loved it.

Yep! can't stand riding a bike that feels like you're going to topple over on.

[vinnyb]

And here's how it should look.

[Gnasher]

Now we're talking,  :thumbup

[snapper]

(And here's how it should look.)
Absolutely !!!

Much rather have the trick version. :woot

[robbo]

Much rather have the trick version. :woot

Yep, me too :thumbup . I know it was quite a groundbreaker in design at the time, but has always struck me as  looking like the bike has severely rear ended a Bond Bug. Some colour, not counting the trick bits, certainly makes it easier on the eye for me.

[VNA]

Yup I'll take the trick one.  Though with three minor mods.  Give me an airbox please, roond discs please, and ditch the fugly weird fork brace.  Perfect.

latest one to get carbs and 'lecrics sorted. might have been a contender if it wasn't for crap striping/paint job. Needs to be candy blue with correct border pinstriping in silver or gold imho. or candy apple red like that 550 i built for me bro in law six years back...

[Gnasher]

Cracking pair, all you need now is a 750GT and you've got the set

[VNA]

Indeed a fine pair.

[ogri48]

look nice but ride like... well... you know. where as this i would imagine....

[Gnasher]

I once rode a track ready version why back in the early 80's, my god  :eek what a difference to the road model.  The mods were little more than a few frame, swingarm braces and stiffer springs and 15w oil with reduced air gap, froks dropped through the yokes by 25mm.

Bit like the GT500 once breathed on they would go and handle like stink, back in the day

Avh, it must be BMW time;

[Dudeofrude]

Not a fan of these efforts, way too weedy for my taste ?‍♂️ looks like someone's stuck an engine on a push bike.

I prefer my bikes with a bit of beef..... still say you can't beat a custom XJR1300. I think I may need one in my life ?
