Hey all,

Do any of you chaps out there know of any websites/forums dedicated to 80's and early 90's jap sports bikes? Like the slabsides, nc30, cbr900rr, RG500 etc, etc type era?

Ive done a Google search but haven't come across much stuff other than small one or two page websites.

Cheers in advance.

You'd be better off joining model specific online forums in order to obtain more detailed information for each bike you wish to seek information about.

www.hawkgtforum.com for RC31 info, and there is a ridiculous amount of information and talented bike builders/maintainers on there. But it's pretty specific to bros's and hawks, if you don't have an interest in them we will shun you :bleh:

Thanks guys, I'll have a look at em.

I buy the mag Practical Sportsbikes which covers 70's, 80's and 90's sportsbikes and reviews them and also has a lot of technical advice. So I was hoping that there would be a forum or site than contains similar content.

Not so much sport bikes, more like early superbikes but if your interested in Yamaha then XS11.com is worth a look, as xs1100.com.au and xs1100.co.uk

Thegsresources.com about all things GS Suzuki. Some of them were considered sportbikes once.
