Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

First bike was a Yamaha 250 LCJ first of the liquid cooled, due to the 250cc limit I had to have the fastest at the time.
Next was a Honda 900 ( could hear it for miles, would get lots of EPA notices these days)
Then XR 200
Then KLR 600
Now 1995 HD Fatboy

Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

Hey here is a Blast from the past: My first Road registered, Bike was a 1968 a65 650 Bsa,Twin, It had a glass tank and clipons( handle bars) it was a cafe racer mock up with mostly Paul Dunstall gear, it was easy to remember the Reg, PS 013, post script information (013) qldrs will understand what I mean.
And the last was an F1 750 (cb 750) four & of course 810 yoshimira. kit. Just sold recently to a friend and Collecter.

And the bikes I had inbetween such as an earlier Gold flash 650 pre unit BSA, Chopper, Stars and stripes, and then an 'Electric start' (WOW) Triumph Trident 750

I had some pretty Nifty 2 strokes, but I really doubt that anyone here would have heard of them:lol: I will try one... how about a 500 'R' Model Suziki Titan??

These 2 strokes were not really appreciated much around where I came from lol

Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

I always get a twinge of regret when I sell a bike but that Duke was special, completely rebuilt from the ground up at a cost of $18000 in 1992. it was gorgeous and great to ride...:bawl: Had an Imola tank 40mm pumper carby's, Imola cam, the deepest silver paintwork, Italian leather on the seat, genuine conti's and Borrani rims...cost a fortune to buy back these days.

I had a WR400 turned into a SuperMoto for me by SA Dirtbikes, just sold it though. Compared to the KTM version it's a bit harder (suspension, vibes, power delivery) but the KTM is a purpose built job by the factory so they deliberately went for the softer version than say a 525 EXC with Supermoto bits. The KTM is an excellent bike though, perfect for dicking about in the city, honestly they're the most fun you can have without fear of losing your license for speeding. You may lose it for doing monos and stoppies however.

Suzuki make a version from their DRZ400 which is pretty cool and of course there's the Husqvarna 570 SM which is going back more toward a competition off-roader with the SuperMoto bits banged on (excellent bike though, about 70BHP), most European manufacturers of dirtbikes do a SuperMoto version (Husaberg, CCM, etc) and Aprilia is even bringing out their V-twin version.

you can always do what I didn and make one yourself, about $2000 for wheels and $1500 for the front brake and caliper on any bike you like.

Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

Okay, here's some pics of the SuperMoto I just sold and of my Ducati...it's got new tyres now, this pic is a bit behind the times.

Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

First and only road bike I have owned.
K4 Suzuki GSXR600. In the "rare" black and orange.
Only mod so far is the Yoshi can ($400 delivered from USA / Ebay). More than enough power for a novice like me.
Bling includes a fender eliminator (not pictured) & black screen.

Good to see there isn't the anti-motorbike mentality in here like the anti-car mentality in some bike forums I visit.

Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

K4 600s seem to be pretty rare in any colour but that's definitely the only black/orange one I've ever seen. When I bought my K4 1000 it took almost a year to see another identical one, now you see them everywhere :( Bugger.

Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride??

I *did* have a 2003 GSXR-750. Binned it 1 lap after this photo was taken :( New baby that arrived shortly afterward and corresponding changed priorities meant I haven't replaced it... yet :)

The K4 thou was/is a real sweet looking bike. From memory, it only came out in the blue/white didn't it? But the blue was a few shades of blue or something !?!?!

Yeah, it is a fairly unique colour. But I figured black never goes out of fashion. That was kind of why I got it. I did like the blue Yammie 04 R6 and the 05 Kwaka ZX6R (and no offence to owners out ther) but every second bike on the road was one of these, To date, I am yet to see another blk/org bike like mine on the road. Which is kind of nice having something uncommon.

And even more rare, the above photo is with the K5 black gixxer6 in the background.

Have a look in the current issue of Motorcycle Trader, someone in SA is selling an RVF 750, bargain too considering rarity and original price. I'd like to see a couple of Yamaha R7's getting sold but I think every single one went racing.

I have a 19yo Kwaka 750 with 80,000km on it
..absolutely stock std original except for a Megacycle can
and it makes 111rwhp :banana:

I reckon....
your R6 should be good for at least 115hp with all those mods

I see they've revived the first R1's colourscheme. Looks good except for that weird exhaust.
