    My old bike

    For the fans of the "older" Honda's. I had this one in Singapore. Aftermarket mag wheels, standard pipes with Dunstal muffler. Twin front discs. Note FRONT rego plate.

    I want to step UP, not down. No such thing as a good Suzuki.

    Ah memory's (not to be confused with mammaries).

    I bet that sounds sweet this the Dunstal muffler.

    The thing the Yahama and Suzuki owners do not understand is that that Honda is most likely still running somewhere in the world - its probably only got a couple of hundred ks on the clock - just run-in

    It did sound sweet and yes it was. The bike is now in New Zealand ...somewhere. I knew the guy that brought it back.
    Memory does play tricks on you.It didn't handle corners well. Hence the engine guards, they were replaced frequently. Yoshi' kit in it gave it a bit of go though.

    Tyres have improved over the years . Saw a nice yellow F1 over in Wanganui a couple of weekends back. I had one for a wee while as well but sold it and kept the 550F.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Good man Jantar has no taste (apart from his lovely wife). At least you haven't got a Gixxer Malcolm; there'd be no hope then.
