A 2004 Honda Transalp and a 2003 Yamaha XJ900S Diversion.
The Diversion's leaking oil from somewhere - I suspect the oil cooler but need to strip it down to investigate.

Do love those early Tuonos, fab bikesGuzziPaul wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 8:30 am Moto Guzzi Le Mans
Aprilia Tuono
Yamaha DT175MX (on Sorn)
The Le Mans gets ridden the most I guess and does get wet and dirty it also gets "reved to the limit" as the red line is only around 8000rpm with a yellow line before that which I take as the limit. Brought as a none runner 4 years ago.
The Tuono is for easy fast speed, bought new as I wanted a V Twin that would wheely done 40,000 plus miles on it all over the UK and europe.
DT. Had for 25 years belonged to a mate who was killed on another bike. Done an enduro on it, like to ride it in the snow, not that we get much in Essex.

RD250LC had to go not enough room in the garage or time to ride them all.

Re: What are you riding or not ?
That's a fantastic looking bike. Been thinking about something like this as my next bike.

Re: What are you riding or not ?
Road Bike = 1990 Yamaha FZ750, standard apart from Micron Exhaust and YSS rear shock, it's coming up for 65,000 miles and still goes like it should.
Track Bike = 1991 Yamaha FZR400RR, exhaust that's a combo of Black Widow, ART and Micron, EXUP removed, R6 rear shock, revalved and rebuilt by K-Tech, race bodywork.
Project Bike = 1982 Z1000J with GPZ1100 Unitrak engine, stupidly expensive carbs and lots of other modifications, there are no standard Z1000J parts left on the bike, hopefully get it up and running for this year and use it for some track days.

My list of more manly bigger bikes is endless but I feel I need to state that I am a man and have had real motorbikes and covered millions of miles on some awsome machines.

Re: What are you riding or not ?
Kawasaki ZX10R C1 16 years old now.
Honda SH300i which I'll probably sell this year,since I'm retired now and it gets little use.

Just sold one but still have three more although another will be going up for sale soon.
Ride all year. Only the oldest one doesn’t come out in winter.
Do around 10k a year on bikes
