    The bike I still miss to this day is my old CB900 F2B

    I brought it at 12 months old (so about 1982), it was without doubt the most comfortable, had a brilliant and practical fairing, and whilst not the quickest bike on 2 wheels, 140+ was plenty quick enough.

    It got totaled about 4 years later by a dum twat who decided to do a U turn (despite a No U Turn sign right in front of him) after I had racked up about 120,000 miles, and I still got £1400 for it which was the same I had paid for it all those miles earlier. The settlement actually paid for my brand new CBX750 in full which was my first ever brand new bike, and shows how much you could buy for reasonable money back then and also shows how much prices have risen subsequently.
