I had one... dunno why you bothered to run it on avgas.....

I disliked it so much that I wanted to kill it. Went pretty quick for a while though. Glad so say I've out grown that sort of carry on

Crikey. Another thread on what we've owned.

'80 Kawasaki CSR250LTD: restored it, rode it, sold it.
'87 Suzuki RG250F: thrashed it, crashed it twice, fixed it twice, traded it.
'87 RG400: thrashed it, alternator went dickey, traded it.
'90 GSXR250: bought it new, rode it, thrashed it, traded it
'89 VFR400R: F3 kit, rode it, raced it to within an inch of it's life, traded it
'88 RC30: toured, thrashed, and tentatively raced. killed it.
'87 CBR600: wobbled around, toured, parked it, fixed it up then sold it
'97 TRX850: sorted suspension, touered it, thrashed it. killed it.
'99 GSX600F: gently wafting about.

Owned all of them except the RC, which was nearly paid off when I killed it.

Most fun was the TRX.

Most pride of ownership the RC.

I was quickest on the VFR400 though. First peg scrape and knee down. Also first fried fork oil and boiled brake fluid in one day long track session.

Never ridden a cruiser though and tend to stay away from dirt bikes - they hurt - from the TS250 Savage I cartwheeled down the hill on Mt Eden one drunken night in 1971 to the TTR250 I savaged some ribs on in a paddock in Clevedon in 2000!

Hey Honda, you wouldnt know Graham and Matt D out at Waitara would you? Theyre into old Hondas with a vengeance, as well.
