Re: What bike from your birth year ?
I'd have one of these. But I'm pretty sure they're either unobtanium or priced stratospherically or both.

It's a 98cc two-stroke Honda Dream D-type. Honda's first production motorcycle.

I dare say some good condition Vincent Black Shadows were still available in 1958, so I'll take one of those. My dad had a Comet, so there's a nostalgia factor:

Don't
Even the kudos of a pop up headlight wears thin after 20+ miles of early 80s ergos and suspension.

I owned a 900SS about 40 years ago, I wouldn't want to ride one again.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 7:25 pm Lets play this game again (rather than mess up Dern's thread)...

Can someone lend me £29k?
I don't think I'd like any bike from 1958 either.
Re: What bike from your birth year ?
As my 1st bike was a Yamaha DT 175 , then my 1st road bike was a Yamaha DT 50 and after passing my tests my 1st ‘big’ bike was also a Yamaha FZR600, this fits the bill nicely.

Re: What bike from your birth year ?
I'd quite like a BMW r69s from the mid 60's to pootle around on but as things stand I might end up with my dad's Brough from his birth year which would be cool

Both the BMW R90S and the Laverda 1000 triple came out in my year.... so either of them please! (who's supplying them and where do I go to pick it up?)

Either this :

However I don't do a lot of off-road... so maybe not.
or this :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235382694040 ... R8jItIaxYw
Yes - that engine WOULD be pulled out and installed in the JAPton...... <cough cough>
LOL at the details : "kickstart" yeah right!

Re: What bike from your birth year ?
My Troll is registered 1964 but the manufacture plate states 1963 which is my birth year.
I would rather have a 63 Gold Star but as i own this it will have to do.
