Re: My mates interesting bike.
I had a silver T reg one in the mid eighties. It had a Marshall 6 into 1 exhaust which sounded unbelievable. Unfortunately for me it also played its part in the biggest mistake I have ever made in my biking life. I had got it into my mind I wanted something a bit sportier, and sold it for a Dream Machine painted Rothmans HRC VF500(yes I know, and actually knew immediately). This act of madness still rankles with me 25 years later, although I am gradually coming to terms with it, what a muppet I was!

Re: My mates interesting bike.
Way back when (About 82). I had a Moto Martin CBX for a few weeks. The sort of bike Honda should have made. Putting that engine into a decent frame was all you needed of a bike back then.

Re: My mates interesting bike.
I remember when they were new! About '87-'88 I rode one that came in as a part-ex.
Fantastic engine, everything else not great.
