collecting bikes, but 7 of the same model, in the same colour is just odd

7 of the same model, but why?

Didn't they only come in the one paint scheme anyway?
but yeah ,kind of odd. Unless it was say manxs or 7R's Velos

even then they progressed and changed models over time, and the evolution can be shown and admired

What colour?

[F5 Dave]

Yes odd.

Just cut back from, 7. But never understood same genre collection..

It's not like it became a classic. I'd rather have one each of the current H2 models.

Oh yes it is. Historically significant and the one most Z1 nutters want.

There were only 21 genuine ELR's built so the turbo is an achievable goal.

rocking horse shit right there, i had a Z1r and had the opportunity to buy a tc but funds were tight so passed on it

'Tis a fine line between collecting and hoarding?

It's inherent in us to reminisce while omitting the reality of how it used to be.

I have ridden a few old bikes like the ones I had as a youngster, and most of them, while dead cool, were pretty awful compared to modern bikes.

I do know someone who might be selling one though...
