    Which one of your bikes do you miss the most any why?

    I can't stop thinking about my RGV 250, it was fast, light, and I love that 2smoke smell !
    Problem is they sell for about 10times what I sold mine for (mint) :(

    Another one for RGV250L. A time of innocence and mad dashes between petrol stations. Lol

    Ducati Streetfighter S
    Husaberg FS650

    Over 35 years of riding I've had loads of bikes but don't miss any compared to my Blade.

    I still have my one of those in my sister's attic.
    Been thinking of restoring it. Great bike.
    Before that I had a Raleigh Strika which had the back pedal brake.

    Motorbike wise I miss my CBR600RR.

    But not to the detriment of my Blade.
    And I always have the good lady's 600RR to ride if ever I miss it that much.
    Though mine had an Akra system on it, while hers has a Scorpion end can.

    I've only had a 600 Fazer 99 model and a 2008 Speed triple. I don't miss either as the blade is better BUT I do miss the noise and colour the blazing orange speed triple had

    I had a Ducati 888SP4 back in 1998 which I should have never sold. The previous owner had spent about £25,000 on it and all the goodies came with it. Would be worth a few quid now for sure.

    My AR50 when I was 16, loved it 40mph flat out everywhere and the freedom of the open road for the first time,
    My aprilia rs250 a close second , the smell and the fact could make a fool of my mates with bigger bikes through the twisties!

    Would be my vfr - if I'd ever sold it ;)

    There was a fella at brands on Monday with an 848... One of the best looking and sounding bikes ever IMO...

    Got to love the under dog spirit also...

    What was the poke like compared to a 600 mate??

    I still miss my Ducati 998S, loved the looks and the awesome sound, but don't miss the servicing costs. Also miss my MV Brutale 910, great naked with awesome torque and sound.
