I miss the 'School Bike'! She was ACE fun at weekend Parties, full of Cider and Jiz! God knows what her Mother thought on washing day! Mind you she was only 15 and look what's happened to Stuart Hall/Bill Roach today!
my 1985 RD125LC bought new,we thought we were shit hot.Louth Saturday night clubbing then off to Cadwell for the racing.
My 2 grand mountain bike that my wife put on the bike rack on top of the car, then drove into a car park with a height restriction barrier
for me it was my CBX supersport, tore the arse out of it for three years and never let me down, some toe rag nicked it, a close second KH500 and RD350, third was my XJ650, cracking bike... fond memories indeed
sold this 3 years ago. brothers told me i was stupid and bloody wish i,d listened now. and this 2 years ago. i felt more at home on this bike than any other sports bike i had including the latest blade. we live and learn!
i wish i still had it but was so hung up on the repsol paint i wanted to change. nearly bought a repsol rr7 but had timewasters when tried selling mine so took the 0 percent honda deal and traded it for my 40th birthday treat. the new one feels a lot more powerful but that rr7 just fitted me like a glove. might go back if the right 1 came up for sale.
Never ridden a newer one so can't comment on proformance but looks I love the rr5 too much and I feel too big on the newer style
My Yamaha RD50MX because that was my first road bike when I was 16 and taught me a lot by repairing it and modifying it. Second is my italjet 50 when I was 4 years old as that was my first bike.
I miss my first ZX9R E2 model. I learnt how to do everything on that bike, First Knee down, first wheelie, first trackday. I know they were supposed to be heavy old tanks in comparison to the equivalent blades, R1s etc but boy did I fee comfortable on that bike. Even my other half thinks that was the best bike I had and felt mega comfortable on it compared to everything I have had since!
The bike I miss the most is my old 2006 600rr... Bought it brand new and kept it 3 years. Had a hypermotard for 5 months after it, then bought a 2009 blade, which I also miss but not like the 600rr. 2006 HONDA CBR 600 RR CHEAP BIKE BE QUICK LOOK WOW PX FINANCE | eBay It's recently turned up on eBay, it made me sad and made me buy another blade last week lol Only sold as I crashed it at mallory and it never felt the same again. Can tell the eBay one is mine because of the service intervals and fact the paddock stand is only on a bobbin one side because the swing arm ground away on the other side during the crash
Totally forgot about this hoot too.... Full system, QS and PC111. Should never had sold it. Like a BMX with an engine.
