Aprilia Dorsoduro 750, 929 Fireblade RR, Guzzi V1200 Sport and maybe a couple of commuters (GS500 and Aprilia Leonardo scooter)
Still have the Guzzi tucked up in the UK...

Re: 10 years ago, what was in the garage?
it evokes what I think we all/ I strive to get out of motorcycling, out in the big skies, a big view, dare I say freedom. the bikes pretty too with enough shiny bits.Un-encumbererd. Im sure there are plenty of better bikes / Views but that just ticks something for me.

My 2002 Sprint RS 955i. Lovely bike with a fantastic sounding engine.

Re: 10 years ago, what was in the garage?
Oh my words, that is ages ago!! I loved my Sprint RS, but the reality is that E10 will muller those tanks pronto. Pity. I might be interested in an older Daytona again, had one for a bit and it was lovely, long and slow steering but a lovely bike.

Re: 10 years ago, what was in the garage?
Ten years back these two were in the shed
1985 JDM FZ750
1986 XT600
These days they're both non runners in my garage.I'm taking early retirement in a few weeks & I want both of these running again.Plan on taking the FZ750 to next years Classic TT.

If you need any FZ bits let me know, if I haven't got them I'll know someone who does, unless you want the unobtainable bits.

Re: 10 years ago, what was in the garage?
Thanks,back in the day I bought another JDM bike cheap & used it for commuting until it finally died.It was a dog but I only paid £450 for it,I have all the paintwork resprayed & ready to fit when I get the bike running again.Only problem I can see is that the donor bike was fitted with a very tired 2MG motor & the ignition is different to the 1FM/1FN bikes.Single pick up instead of the early bikes twin pick up.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 11:51 am If you need any FZ bits let me know, if I haven't got them I'll know someone who does, unless you want the unobtainable bits.
I think I'll have more trouble with the XT600,it cut out slowing down for traffic lights.No spark,long story short,it's not sparking as only one side of the crank is turning

No pics but I think I still had a GSXR1000 K1 at that point but wasn't riding much.
