    Who'd a thunk it - 15. I don't think I saw one till I moved here.

    Tonight I've been flicking through some Two wheels mags circa 1980-84.
    Names like Kel Wearne, Lester morris,Bill McKinnon,Anthony Seymour etc were the boys back then.
    Time is slowly ticking on. Dave, did you know any of those guys back then?

    Never saw one. And I had a Suzuki then too.

    Remeber the first one I spotted - green unit of the floor at AMPS. Thought it was a sensible bike then.

    I remember reading in TW Suzuki were going to release a four stoke some years earlier.
    There was one sitting in the show room at Coleman's when i went to put the deposit on my RM125.



    Folk were a little more excitable in those days standing room only at F&D's to get a look at the CBX.

    Why is it that every time the RF900 is mentioned its always nominated as being under rated?

    I have only ever seen people rate them highly, and they are a damn fine looking bike as far as the ricer style of bike is concerned.
