Default Re: Show us your 'past' bikes.

First bike was one of these when I was 16



Put me off bikes for 12 years (didn't really just never had the spare cash to do my test)

First real bike


Got bored after 10 months and wanted something faster so got this.

Amazing bike, a true all rounder, as happy on the track as it was touring Europe



Until this happened!


After 8 months of recovery I didn't want to tempt fate by getting another litre bike so went for something a bit smaller



Could only ride the GSXR for a couple of hours before it got uncomfortable though so got this to compliment it.



The lure of the Blade was too strong though so with rose tinted glasses I sold the GSXR and VFR and bought this.



About 5 minutes later I realised modern sports bikes are useless on the road, and while I still did 7000 miles in a year on it I knew it was only a matter of time before I lost my lisence, or worse

So went full on old man!



Couldn't live without a sports bike for long though and after a session of drink ebaying I ended up with this.



Which turned into a project bike about 2 weeks later!

So to enable me to do track days in the meantime I went full circle!
