A question

Recommended Posts

As it’s Christmas Eve, and I am mellow, I thought would offer you a variation on the Jacob Marley question.

  • Best bike you’ve ever had
  • Worst bike you’ve ever had
  • The bike, if money had was not an issue you would still have ( you have to have owned it)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Only had the two, and still got them both so I won't upset either one by picking a favourite.

I'd love a blacked out Triumph Thunderbird 1700 though. Had a sit on one back in the summer. The perfect muscle cruiser.

Best my 2004 ZRX1200R (Still got it bought new and not for sale)

Worst DT400 bought in the eighties and seized on the M3 on the way home lol.

Money no object would be the ZRX which I still own but for the sake of this thread I would quite like my XBR500 back that was a lot of fun in london traffic.

Cheers

Ian

Best Bike = Laverda 1000

Worst Bike = FZR

The bike I should have kept = Norton Dominator (Cafe Racer style).

Not actually owned that many

The best: MV Agusta TV

The worst: Tiger XRx 800

Wish list: reluctantly have to admit it: R1200GS. Proper love - hate relationship, but the love was true love.

Great thread.

 

Best: RE 650 Interceptor, which is my current ride. I kid you not... can't stay off the thing.

 

Worst: Yasi 125. Hit and miss. Great fun when it fired for more than 40 seconds.

 

Want: BMW RNineT (road, not scrambler). Or maybe the Guzzi Mandelo.

Best: CB500r (now rebuilt again) 

 

Worst: CB250s (short gear ratio, so crap in traffic but great on open roads, though handling was rubbish) 

 

Wanted: BMW750 gs (sat on one, along with other makes at NEC, but REALLY liked this😳 quick, fetch my slippers)

Best - Bandit 1250

Worst - 250 Superdream

Bike I should have kept - RD 350N (YPVS)

 

Wanted: Nothing new, that's for sure. They don't currently make anything that I'd want. If they did I'd buy it.
