My mate had the same Gs550 and it was a lovely bike

I had exactly the same colour Gsx750, it was pretty good, although i never liked the 16in front wheel and how it handled.

Great motorway blaster though.

I did my first continental trip on the 750. It was a good mile muncher. The small front wheel didn't bother me.

Right here we go,
First bike was one of these

I fell off it numerous times!

Then I bought one of these

Sold it within a couple of weeks and went back to my 125 as it was just awful to ride

Then bought one of these

My first Sv followed that

Which I didn't treat very nicely and pretty much ran it into the ground

That was replaced with another SV

Then I got this

And then this to go with the triumph

Then I sold both the triumph and the sv and bought a cagiva raptor for kitkat

I then acquired her SV as she had the raptor

I still have this sv although it Looks a little different now

I bought one of these to have alongside the sv and the raptor

And final picture of the current bikes in the garage

There was another sv and a Kawasaki kdx in the middle there somewhere but I don't have any pictures of those

I still fancy the Benelli Tornado.

Its a beautiful bike and I could've happily sat and looked at it all day, it handled very well and it was very quick but unfortunately it just wasn't comfortable for me, it may be for others but not me and that's why I sold it in the end

The only bike I regret selling is the Daytona

I suspect it would be the same for me.
