    My 2001 FZ1 - I was dumb enough to sell her before going to Aus......at a loss......after spending $2K getting her dyno tuned.
    Felt like a right moron.
    Can't even buy one now for what I sold her for.

    I've had prob well over 60 bikes now...

    But these ones still make me sad I parted with them. For various diff reasons. The 79 CR250 because it's the most pristine example of the most gorgeous production moto-x bike ever made I've ever seen. The GPZ1100 because it was my first big road bike and the first time I ever road raced anything (Gracefield). The KR1SP because Mark Boyle and myself made them here in Wellington to compete with the faster RGV's aand NSR's and I won the NZ250 TT title on it in 1991. The YZ465 because it's a YZ465...sadly I never got to race it. The RS250 because it's quite simply WITHOUT a doubt the most amazing thing I've EVER ridden or raced. Sadly I only got to race it four times before having to sell it. And the mighty Z1RTC!!!??? Well...not much can be said about that raving sick fuck right off lesbian of a bike. It was forever on the rag. But fuck me...it was a life changing experience to ride that thing on big boost numbers.

    I don't really miss any of my diesels except maybe my Cagiva 650 GT I raced quite successfully for a few years(750F1 rattleclutch and cams,big wheels etc)and possibly my NZ250...that was a fun little bike right there

    Otherwise I kept the ones I know I would miss...still ride em..still love em

    I miss all those strokers I sold though.....

    I keep bikes a fair while & by then I'm often over them. My YZF750SP I'll probably get nostalgic for, but not yet. My RZ350FU is up there.

    Last year I had to sell My GasGas TXT200 Trials bike to raise fund. I miss that.

    Also my first bike; PE175 I went 1/2 with a mate & only got to ride it once or twice before it was stolen from his house never to be seen again. I miss that one.

    Strangely (well not really) I don't have electronic pics of these except the foul stroke.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    My old GSX400X Impulse. It was my first fast bike and have a lot of fond memories of it ( apart from the shitty electrics ).

    That's a neat little bike crasher. It's funny how some stick in your head ? My H2 had mostly pleasant memories, apart from nearly ending it all for me! But I remember winning at Gracefield on it and then a week later selling it for $1200 !!!!! and entering the police college. A busy couple of weeks in 1973.

    I miss my TS185. I wish I never pulled it apart - after that I went to uni......2 years of it being apart dad gave it to some kids down the road.

    I actually wish I had it now, twin shockers are just fun.

    My GSXR750K I miss... that thing would flex and get massive headshake and was brutal through the twisties but it used to piss all over my mates ZXR750 H1(except on hi speed sweepers where his was more stable).

    Armco barrier sent that to a wreckers and I skinned my knee :/

    Unhappy

    Mixed feeling looking back at some of the bikes. Odd reasons as to why I miss each one too
