There's something so wrong about that mish-mash which makes me quite like it. It's a poor mistreated mongrel with a good heart,looking for a home. 8-)

The fzr1000 & srx400 are particularly weird
You are not wrong! Do you think he advertises as we buy any bike in 'Fucked up project bike magazine'!

I mean WTF

You're right - the further I went through his stock the more my mind boggled.

Ye Gods... what a collection.

The yellow and red Honda reminds me a little of my brother's 250 race bike - a CB250K0 with the front end from a 400-F, rear sets and clips ons, plus a tank and tail hump from a yellow CJ250, with a hand made aluminium seat lovingly constructed from a chunk of my Dad's greenhouse which blew down in a gale!

Astonishingly, he was quick enough on the bendy bits at the Brands Indy that he didn't always finish last in the four stroke races!

The Honda again... I love the ad... HONDA CB 350 CAFE RACER D REG PAINT WORK BY STEVIE WONDER AFTER A NIGHT ON ACID

For some reason it's a 350... fitted with a 250 engine!

Too fast for owner, do you think?

The RGV250 always was outstanding in it's field.

Tiger stripe Suzuki's are the best.

It rather looks like it's outstanding in quicksand. I'd be interested to see the same photo taken half an hour later...

Nothing, it's just it's usually large capacity tourers you see for sale with that kind of miles (and mainly Hondas and BMW's), not Yamaha shopping bikes.

Used year round? My experience of year round biking is that the mechanicals are fine if looked after, it's the verdigris on the wiring that kills them.

Hoping it'll take root and grow into a 1000?
