Friday throwback. What were your old bikes?

[Bigyin]

I read Couchy's list and thought he'd had 27 Hornets.

I read it and thought "how does a man who's had so many epic machines end up with a pos BMW thing and a fucking monkey bike"

Dont forget the "everyone c***ts got one" soon to arrive KTM

[Couchy]

I want pics, memories, emotional attachment

Emotional attachment ? Get a grip they’re lumps of metal and plastic ! You’ll be telling me you watch Star Wars because of that hotty C3P0 next

Don't knock shagging an animated dust bin until you've tried it, you can go masochistic and shag a Dalek.

Pretty sure this one is unique to the forum.

Well that took a different turn i wasnt expecting

Back to the topic

My first road legal bike. This is actually the second one as the first one, the same make and model, was written off within 2 weeks of ownership ..... The mighty Suzuki GS125ES



A few years down the line and my "spare" courier bike for when my BMW was off the road

Yamaha XS400SE



Almost 2 decades later, early 2000's and a Visordown Easter tour, soaking wet but happy riding some cracking roads with some random buggers i met on the internet, many of whom are friends to this day

Kawasaki ZX6R G2



Time to move on and one of my all time favourite bikes. Superb handling and performance. Used it for commuting, fun and touring ...... the Kawasaki ZX636B1H



Touring Norway in 2016 on the best bike i have ever had. Does everything very well and some things better than anyone would expect from full up touring with luggage to trakdays

Ducati Multistrada 1200S GT....so good i bought another one when the first one was written off.



Full circle from start to finish with written off bike replaced by another of the same model ............ in the years between i never properly crashed a bike which i dont think is a bad run for over 500,000 miles ridden in all weathers, terrains and a few different countries

(these are not all the bikes, just ones i have photos of or some significance)

My first race bike...



Back when I could wear contacts. I was a 'bit' big for the bike.

I spent a couple of seasons in the MZ paddock with Bemsee helping my mate and met some quality people there racing on the smallest of budget

Fast little bikes on the corners fitted with TZR 125 wheels and slicks ...... bit of a wait to get along the straights though

[Cousin Jack]

As a counterpoint to Couchy's list, mine is a bit shorter.

BSA C12
Triumph T100
Honda VFR800
Honda CB500F

In my defence there was a long gap between the fist and second, and I rode between 30 and 40k miles on every bike except the last one (I am still working on that one)

That's no MZ <spit>, it's Yamaha's finest air cooled Racing Death 250.

lol, my bad, just seen the yamaha badge and in my defence i was looking at the pic on a very small iphone

[KungFooBob]

FARON crank and heads, DT125R pistons... 274cc (class limit), YPVS front end. I loved it... when it ran. Came 2nd in the Earlystocks 250 modified championship (out of three runners), the wife won't let me put the trophy on show (it's in the loft).

I was about to ask... why did you buy a 2/3rd scale model of the real thing?
