    Thumbs up Soft spot

    Post a pic of a bike that you have owned, the one that you had/have a soft spot for. I am only on my 4th bike so my options are limited, but the YZF600 I owned was my first sports bike, and for that reason, its the one for me.

    My avatar - it's good fun riding a bike that nobody has a fucking clue about what they are looking at.

    ZX-9R B2 model. Sold it to buy a 'busa. Shouldn't have, it did everything well and it looked the business. Weighed a million tons and had heaps of things wrong with it, for some reason that just made it better...

    my old F2 CBR. Cheapest bike I ever bought, most expensive in workshop and dynotime,

    but the most fun. big, heavy, shit hanging off everywhere, yet it rode fantastically, and the sound was phenomenal.
    Oh and I learned to wheelie on it too. I learnt to flip wheelies aswell.

    The RD250 was my second bike, I went every where on it, even my honeymoon. Loved it, loved the powerband phenomenon and I thought it was the quickest thing this side of a jet fighter. It blew itself up in the end.

    The FJ was one of four I had over the years, fantastic bike, still is, so laid back and yet an intercontinental missile when required. The best bike I've ever owned? not quite but it sure was a love affair
