Don't believe her - it's a trick. heavenly.talker is comparing responses in all threads to pick out the bullshitters. Don't say nothing, OK. :doobey:

What about those of us who have doubled their answer since the last thread??

[What?]

What about those of us who have doubled their answer since the last thread??
Then you will go down on a bad rap. Or get bad rep. Unless you perfectly re-list the original half. Stay away, mate - it's a conspiracy thingy....

bugger, I'd better fully explain since I've already answered the poll then....

errr. 87 MZ ETZ250, 80 Honda CB125T, 83 BMW R65LS....

And then in the UK, so far, eighty-something Honda Bros 400, 93 XJ600S Divvy, 80 BMW R100S motorsport colours...

crosses fingers and hopes....

The enduro bikes basically got trashed in a season and some of the others seemed like a good idea at the time...

[FROSTY]

Sounds like a friggin ego trip -not intended to be--Ive owned over 100 bikes so far.
First bike was a Honda 50 stepthrough -3 speed semi auto
-yep a cub. I was 9. It had a piece of 50mm angle iron welded from the steering head to the bottom of the petrol tank -no fairings -no mudguards
Used knobbly tyres. The angle iron was from me jumping it one time too many

[Leong]

Hows this for a list:

2005 Honda VTR 250

SHortest one posted I THINK!

[Wolf]

:doh: I clicked on 6-10 but then counted them up properly and it comes out at 11 so far, have photos of all but my old GT125, CB550 and the GSX250 (the latter of which is out in the shed so I can photograph it any time - if I ever reassemble it again...)

2 Yamahas - RX125 (1st bike) and RD350
2 Hondas - CB360 and CB550
1 Puch - SR150
1 Zundapp - Bella 154 (150cc)
5 Suzukis - TS125, GT125, GT50, LS400 and GSX250

Feel like an amateur compared with Oscar and Wayne.

Had a long term loan of another Honda while I was restoring the Zundapp so I got pretty familiar with its foibles. Lost count of all the bikes I've borrowed or test ridden.

So, despite starting out on a Yamaha and having a Yamaha as my first "M-class" bike (full licence), I'm mostly familiar with Suzukis and Hondas with the occasional dalliance with Yuropeen scooters.

Borrowed a couple of Kawasakis for prolonged periods and was less than impressed with them - one had the distressing "feature" that if the battery went flat (which was frequently) you couldn't crash start it - could run up and down the road for hours on end and the engine would not fire - as if the output from the alternator was trying to recharge the battery rather than feeding the coil. Compared with my Honda CB360 that had a screwed battery and faultlessly started with a couple of kicks, my TS125 (likewise) and (later) my LS400 that took less than 10 metres to get it up to speed and get the engine running on a crash start, the Kawa was not a friendly bike when low on battery power.

The other Kawa was a 250cc sprots boik I borrowed for a few weeks to commute and I found that on cold mornings on the lengthy ride from near Tauwhare to Central Hamilton, the engine would die a couple of streets from work and would not start again, forcing me to push it the rest of the way. After work it would start faultlessly, I would take the exact same route home and it would make it all the way home without a hitch - just didn't like cold mornings even after the engine had had plenty of time to warm up. I could have understood it more if it ran like a haunted shithouse for half the journey and got better close to work but it ran sweet from first start and I had no trouble starting it after gassing up at the garage 5 minutes from my house then it would die and wouldn't start around 20-25 mins later.

I'm not saying that all Kawas are like the two I borrowed, but the experiences do make me think twice about ever buying one. I'd want to borrow a Kawasaki for a month in the middle of winter before considering buying it - don't know many people willing to let someone take a bike on that much of a "test ride".

England is fine , but I miss not having the Duke to ride here , looking forward to returning to Wellington in April an riding again.:woohoo:

It isn't really that cheap but I guess worth doing it:msn-wink: the little beast gained 20% on torque and has 123hps at the wheel (just done 240km with the kit) without a proper dyno run. I've got a bit off time left till the summer hits italy and I might have to set up a test rig as well.

take it easy
