Anyway @Couchy either the Tuono or SDR will be great thanks, but if you do go the SDR route, please can you make it the bluey rather than the silver one please?

5 of the air cooled ones, haven't had a water cooled one yet. Tried the 1200 and liked it but didn't like the little ones

Re: It’s time
Obviously the answer is a big, brutal hairy-arsed 4cyl Kawasaki... altho tbf, that's my answer to all "what bike should I buy?" type questions... unless it involves off road work, in which case the correct answer is an '86 KX500.

Re: It’s time
Sure, but it would be alongside the big brutal hairyarsedness. Right now I'm *kinda* looking for an GPz1100 A2 or A3, but would settle for an A1. I REALLY should have bought that GPz750Turbo home a few months ago.

Re: It’s time
ooooh... that blue '75 Z1-B is pretty frigging sweet. Still my favorite year/color/scheme. I've put variations of it on probably a dozen Z9/Z10000'sBigyin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 10:54 pm Have a look at the "Auction Game" thread ........nice one on there

Re: It’s time
That reminded me of when I went this house many years ago. He opened his garage and it looked like Ducati showroom! Loads of shiny Ducati sportbikes in there. Dunno what they were though? I'd forgotten about him being a Ducati man!

Re: It’s time
We both were back in the day... We've owned countless Ducatis between us.
My list
748
916 x 3
848
Sport Classic
749
edit
1098 but that stayed less than a week as it wouldn't work.
Maybe not countless then... but that's a decent amount.

Re: It’s time
A mate is selling a B1 with 1135 high comp pistons and Z1000J carbs, the engine is good inside and it's immaculate, £6500, I can sell you a set of VM33s to make it more hairy arsed.
