My first bike was a Suzuki ER185. When I went to Oz in Nov '85 I got a Honda CB25RS, followed by a Yamaha XZ550, then a Kawasaki Z750. My current bike is a 1990 built, 1991 registered Honda NTV650M. I have clocked up 116,000km trouble free motoring on it now. Oz stopped selling it after I bought mine, but the later model (Deauville, with fairing) is still popular in Europe (see link).
I always use full synthetic oil when I get it serviced, usually Motul.
In 1981 I went to the Isle of Man to watch the TT racing. This is one place that any bike enthusiast must go at least once in their lifetime. Great atmosphere, wall to wall bikes and plenty to see and do. The year I was there the 'Senior' and 'Classic' races were won by a Kiwi, Graeme Crosby (Super Croz) - Bonus! Anyone on the forum there at that time? The winner of the 'Classic' is put on the next 50p coin. I meant to order one but forgot (Drats!). A footnote to this is that another Kiwi, Denis Ireland, won the 'classic' the very next year!
That will do for my first post for now. Hope to have some interesting chats.
