It is my ambition to own a bike older than me. Or ideally, exactly the same age as me, made in 1977.

Won't be too hard I reckon, as there seem to be lots of old Honda and Kawa roadbikes still kicking around on Tardme.

How many of you out there own and ride a bike as old or older than you?

Of course. I'm only a little boy, very easy to own a bike older than me :laugh:

To be honest there's not many bikes younger than me that held my interest when looking around for what to buy.

1977, you say? Get yourself a nice CB750F2 Supersport.

...Get yourself a nice CB750F2
Oh yes, that's the ticket. Easy to attach a sidecar to, too.

I don`t own it but a mate does , he owns a 72` Triumph Bonny and still thrashes it hard , we went to Whangamata the other day , unfortunately it uses more oil than petrol , bloody good to watch him still cane the old girl around corners.

Go hold up an old timer for a Matchless 500 or an AJS , or the more modern Norton.

I've got a car 10 years older than me that I drive to work most days, and one thats 11 years older. Bike is 18 years newer however.

Make it more interesting, find one double your age instead :)

The oldest bike I ever owned was still 15 years younger than me but I started riding younger than that by riding my older Bro's bike. Now my oldest bike is my VFR which is 39 years younger than me. Your target Steam is obviously getting away on me.

77 should be easy enough, all the good hondas and Yammys came out in the late 70's. I think they made the first TT500 in 1976 along with the XS650 so there's two outstanding bikes to start with...
