Old bikes you wished you had kept!

my 1st r1. No fancy gizmos or electronics and so much fun.

 

I loved my 5PW but the 5VY was better in every respect and more so on track ...

My old one:

 

All of them, cuz if I had them all now they would be worth a mint, going back to FS1E's, C90 and C70 step through's, CM125, CG125, CB125, CB125T, RD 125 Twin, CB400 / 4, GPX750, ZZR600 D1, CBR600 x 3, RSV Millie, XL1000 etc

The ones I really miss are:
99 Fireblade bought second hand last year, shouldn't have got rid of it, but my mate is one happy owner of it.
99 CBR600 Bought new and wrote off in 6 weeks
99 R6 sprayed in custom yellow scheme from brand new (bought new)

I will have a look later at home as I am sure I have some of the yellow R6, not everyone's cup of tea I admit, lol

Found a couple of pictures, a couple of the R6 and one of the CBR600



I look so young on this one, oh wait, I was, the picture was taken 16 years ago, lol

 

My Suzuki Katana 1000 and my favorite of all time 2004 R1

 

I liked the 5pw so much i had 2 of them. Looks like its doing 100mph standing still.

 

Ahem, my Fizzie!

 

I wondered who'd bought all the unsold Bay City Rollers stock

 

Wanna be in our gang...our gang...our gang
Wanna be in our gaaaang...ooooooOOOoooo

 

2 of my old favourites. My CB900 was probably the most comfortable bike with the best fairing ever. Got written off at 140,000 miles and the third party insurers gavce me what I paid for it 5 years earlier. CBX750 was my first ever brand new bike, and had so much fun on it.

Regret getting rid of both of them.
