Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I like that. I even like the R2 gag. I've stuck it in my watch list but I reckon someone else will buy it before I'm ever drunk, sorry daft enough to make an offer.

I'm 15 stone and 6'3", I love JDM bikes, I've had loads, but I look like a proper tit riding them, I'd look very silly on an SDR.

I had a series of CBR/VFR/FZR400's in my late teens, I used to go get my knee down doing circles in the local McDonalds car park to annoy the boy racers.v8-powered wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 8:29 pmSaw a FB memory of me on my old GSX-R750 K6 track bike many years ago, looked like I was riding a minimotoKungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 8:10 pmI'm 15 stone and 6'3", I love JDM bikes, I've had loads, but I look like a proper tit riding them, I'd look very silly on an SDR.

I've still got those Wolf leathers too, bit more battered now though. Not sure I'd even fit in them now though

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
My 400F had a 6" headlamp and 'ace' bars. Someone said I looked like a midget clinging to a lighthouse.
Later ... I had grey/red/blue leathers, rode a K100RT. Filly said I looked like Spiderman climbing a wall.
Even bland can be a type of character

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I'm sure the running and maintenance costs will make up for any savings on the purchase price
I wonder what spare parts supply is like . My old boss used to have a 1990s F1 car as a track toy....he also owned a carbon fibre company, a high end exhaust company and several machine shops, sooo....
