They call me Mr Fahrenheit
Inspired by the 'Pipe dream' thread, and the 'What could you do on your first bike [etc]' thread, and their responses, I pose the following question.
What was the bike you really wanted when you first started riding and were probably still on your learners, or were otherwise constrained financially?
For me it was the FZR 750. Strangely, I still haven't owned a larger capacity sprots bike.
Keep on chooglin'

When I was on my learners the bike I wanted was a CBR600, I have since owned one and selling it was one of the hardest things I've had to do.

750 Trident (the original, T150). The BSA Rocket 3 didn't interest me at all.
I was well on the way to the $1900 or thereabouts new price when I was seduced by the dark side and bought a Kawasaki Bighorn trailbike
