Yea but the GENUINE sp's are single seat with a lightweight subbie aft of riders seat. There was one for sale on here for years with sod all k's that had been in a prang. IMO he wanted about 2k too much for it--someone else thought different

Were you not paying attention? I already said I had an SP, was only saying I had a 2 seater setup in my spares. Btw the rear subframe is still steel just doesnt have footpeg and seat mounts, the single seat unit is factory fibreglass.

all of them, the old triumph 500 twin, the 500 ajs twin, the 350 ajs single, the commando, the aerial 650 twin, the cbf4 500, and the cbf4 550 ex cop, the 1000 vincent way back in 72, even the er 185 had a soft spot, the 400 km?kx?, the dr250, don't ask about quads and 3 wheelers though, some of them I couldn't give away quick enough

I had two Suzuki GT750 J models with consecutive frame numbers. They were the original twin leading shoe brake models with the "ray gun" black tip exhausts. Both tidy registered original runners. Sold them at the Hamilton swap meet about ten years back for $4500 the pair. Bugger.

You can't keep them all, and to have one bike your whole life could get a bit boring. They all had to go at some stage - Rickmaan Metisse, Cheney Triumph, Norton 99, XLV750, I'd like to have those again, just to cash in for retirement as I don't have a house in Auckland to sell. I still have the Stornello.

Now that I am getting on a bit it would be great to have my old Indian back. Have owned more bikes than I can remember, mostly handbuilt, each was better than the 1 before it until age and injuries started to rule my choices.

lol Scarey! I swapped a '75 Ducati 750 sport that I had for a while, for an RD 350 for a weekend.
It seemed to speed up when the throttle was closed compared to the throttle closed braking of the 750. Yikes! But it was fun the next couple of days. :)

I raced an RD350 in 73/74. Traded my GT750 waterbus on it. Then an H2. They were great but I don't want to own them now. I have just had a ride in Riverhead Forest on my KTM300EXC. New bikes are better than those old buckets.

Yeah that'd be my one most likely. Think it went for 3K by memory & went to ChCh. Was another one up there so maybe you're talking that one! . Mine [pink & all] i bought by accident [not crash accident] i sold the guy something like an XR200 tool bag of the rear guard & just happened to mention--do you know anyone that wants a YZF750SP "92 or "93--next thing i'd followed him home & then 'it' followed me home lol. As the local indoor Kart add say--Fast--Faster than fast--not even sure if that's possible! . Mine had Std forks fitted after the originals were wiped off so the story went. Anyway--i miss my new Red Triumph T100 Unit Metisse Scrambler [MX for you modern people]. Went to an MX today [sunday] & it was yesterday damn it. Must be old age.
