OK, at the risk of embarrassing myself, due to my lightweight biking pedigree, here goes:
1985 - C90 (There, I've admitted it.)
Then huge gap until
2003 - TT600 (2001)
2004 - ZX6 (2002 636 A1P)
2006 - Tuono (2004) and no plans to sell this one (although I did only buy it 5 weeks ago!). But plenty of plans to add bits and modify!!!
Not much of a selection, but a whole lot of fun, particularly with the Tuono!

quote:I'll second that, though there's nothing too bad about the T140 as long as you don't go WFO all the time. I've used mine to commute on nice summer days, and you can wring it's neck without getting too illegal. I doubt the performance is realy any better than a good T120. My bikes - or those I can remember: 1969 started things off with a Suzi 50 that had been used as an off road hack. BSA A10 Flash with Busmar d/a sidecar Various mutant A10s A7 plunger Shooting Star talk about flex, people following me said the front and rear wheels adopted different angles to the road when cornering. T110 engined Tribsa stree-scrambler style B44 Sunbeam S7 - then came the 'raise a brood' break - Yam XS750 shaftie Kwak GPZ900R, last of the line Honda CBR600 FX, first of the ali frame jobs Futura T140v Futura |

I'm jealous, you've had 3 bikes that I'd love to own, the T140, and T160 Trumpets, and the Jota. [:p] Oh well maybe one day. [:(]

I loved my Bonnie 77 T140V in UK black and candy Apple Red , use to do all the Triumph rallies and with the missus and camping gear it was struggling. Brought a T160 , which was a total nail and dropped a rod on the IOM.
Jota was awesome, I fitted the Mottod mechanical anti dive (remember that fad!) where one caliper pivoted and was attached to the bottom yoke by rods and rose joints!
Sold it when I went to live and work in the middle east, Bad day that!

Great Post…
Yamaha DT50 – (When I was 16) for 1 year, great fun
Honda XL250S (Purple) – Brand New. The one with the 21inch wheel! I remember an inner tube costing me £11.30 in 1981…More than the cost of most tyres back then! [:(]
…Only kept it 9 months as all my mates had X7’s, RD250s, GS250s, RS250s etc. and the XL just couldn’t keep up…
Suzuki GSX250 – Not as fast as the two strokes but great bike until the engine blew up. Went touring in France on it [;)]
Suzuki GS550 – Slow, poor handling, but again, got me down to Saint Tropez and back!
Kawasaki GT750 (Shaft Drive) – Bloody great big Krauser panniers – Great for just throwing everything in and sodding off…Took out a few car mirrors though [:)]
Kawasaki KL175 – Sold the GT once I got to the stage where I was only using it for commuting 10 miles a day…
.
.
. 20 year break
.
. mid life crisis…
.
2003 - Yamaha 600 Fazer – I needed something with reasonable insurance to get some no claims bonus back! Actually loved it to bits, great bike, I completely understand why they are so popular.
Now – 2004 RSVR – Great to have a big V Twin. Doesn’t make much sense below 60mph or on motorways…But on fast twisty A-Roads I love it…Can’t wait to take it on a track!! [:D]
Next – Well, I’ve never done the Jap litre four sports bike thing…Oh, and when I get older I will probably get a BMW GS1200, and when I get really old a Harley Davidson (And a leather jacket with tassels!)
Cheers, Keith [8D]
