Isold it to a young fella who did not like the paint job so he painted it black. If I were not riding when I saw it I would have punched him.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
The horror.

I'm gonna be different on here - I have an SV650 and a GSXR1000. And although I have ridden many bikes, I am really happy with what I have.

But one day........ I will need to change. But the big question will be. To WHAT?????

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions.

**wickle** · 27th September 2009, 07:58

Suzuki TS400, with modern adv tyres

**James Deuce** · 27th September 2009, 08:18

No question: RC30.

TX650 never let me down once. Betrayed that loyal service by selling it to pay for OE. Regretted it before, during and since.

I've kept it.

My old ironhead sporty

**onearmedbandit** · 27th September 2009, 09:21

My first GSXR750, 1985 model. Blueprinted and balanced engine, lowered gearing, enlarged flatside carbs. Was a minter too. Why would I have it back? It was my first gixxer, and it was the bike on which I paralysed my arm. My brother sold it for me when I was in hospital. Never, ever make important decisions when just out of ICU and under the influence of hospital grade pain relief.

My old Babyblade (Honda CBR250rr)

**beyond** · 27th September 2009, 10:22

I had a ball on my Yamaha RD350.

Still.... nothing beats the GSX1400

In retrospect , the "best" bike I ever had. But back then it was my transport, I couldn't afford a bike just as a hobby.

And a Velo Venom (especially with an Amal GP crab) is NOT a good bike for commuting.

And I was young and stupid.

My old mint GSXR750H and the CRM250, that was fun!

I wish I still had my Volty

Oh that's right, I DO still have my Volty!

The Volty and I will never be parted.
