Your bike history
 

What 'route' have you taken to end up with you current bike ?

Mine is a as follows :-

Honda CB100N - horrible, but got me around

Suzuki TS125X - at the time it was a real 'giggle' machine

Suzuki 600 Bandit - my intro to world of 'big' bikes

Honda VFR 800i (current) - what can I say, THE BEST ALL ROUNDER IN THE WORLD. . . EVER !! :D

Suzuki 1200 Bandit - ('proper' shape) another bike I wish I had room for now !!

KTM 640 LC4 - fun to play around with but dreadful build quality, sold it after 8 months

Suzuki SV1000N (current) - :D :D 8) 8)

Commuted on a push bike for years (7 or so), then

Yamaha SR250 Classic for 4 months (a.k.a. "the horrible thing"), then

Suzuki SV650S '99, bought in May '05 with less than 8k miles on the clocks :D

Honda CG 125
Kawasaki GPZ500S (x2)
Suzuki SV650S (x4)
Aprilia SL1000 Falco
Harley Davidson Sportster 883 Custom.

Like a dance:- slow, slow, quick, quick, slow!!! 8)

Honda CG125 - lovely bike to start on and learn what it feels like to be truely scared while taking wet mountain roads at 60mph (since done them at 80mph on the SV with no issues) Sold for a profit, even after cost of MOT etc.

Kwak GPZ500S - A surprisingly good bike. Let down by build quality. I learnt how many stupid things you can do with a vaguely powerful bike. I also learnt how to get out of some of the situations you can get yourself into. Still got it but it's being broken for spares.

Suzuki GSX600F - Not a bad bike, actually. Mine had some issues with air leaks that I couldn't get to the bottom of and didn't have the money to get a garage to sort out. Sold it for what I paid after a couple of months.

Suzuki SV650S - Finally got myself a decent bike and have loved it ever since. It's got faster as time has gone on.
I'm now finding it to be a bit slow on some of my favourite roads, but I can't say I always ride it at 100% of it's capabilities, so I'll keep it for a bit yet.

Honda MTX50 - At the tender age of 16 years old and against my mums wishes. Sold it when i passed my car licence

Peugeot Speedfight 100 - Broght this to commute to and from london back in 1997

Suzukisv650 - Brought this december 2000

Still got it

Seriously....

PY80 - Was about 8 years old lol
Piaggio Hexagon 125cc Scooter - About 30,000 miles on a single cyclinder engine, sold it working fine too...
Gilera Runner 200cc - 16,500 odd miles, currently for sale for silly money in this forum.
Suzuki SV650S - Done so far about 6000-7000 miles.

Next, who knows, im already "dreaming" though.

I was brought up to gradually build your way up. Mainly though, i needed a reliable commuter machine and at 18/19, the scooter was the cheapest easiest option.

1st bike sv650 when I was 25
2nd bike Triumph Daytona 955i when I was 30

Still ride the SV every now and then

Got a Honda MT50 at 16 till i got a car licence.
Then a CBR 600f at 27 till the head gasket blew, so i swapped it for a naked curvy sv, i had this 6 months and bought a fully faired K5 to keep it company. :D

Honda Camino - too embarrasing to ride
Honda Px50 - A bit more like it
Honda MBX80 with powerpipe - a mini beast :twisted:
Honda MBX125- my first prang + broken leg!
Suzuki TS250 - rear wheel was always trying to come 'round under power :twisted:
Suzuki GSX400F - nearest I came to LC style wizz-bangerie - excellent 4-stroke screamer!!
SV650S - just wish I could get used to modern bike riding requirements :lol: :lol:

Not included all the bikes I borrowed off my Dad...the list would be HOOOOGE :wink: :lol:
