Favourites? Two Suzuki GT750 waterbuses. Closely followed by Yamaha XS2 650. Most boring? Bandit 600. Biggest let-down? Ducati Pantah 600. What do I want now? TS400 (God only knows why, but I do. ) What do I have now? Boulevard cruiser.

One of the classics I've owned was my CBX. not my favourite,but it would always attract a crowd at the gas station. sounded sweet with the 6 into 6 exhaust system

Never had a road bike, but I had a 2004 WRF250 trail bike with a YZF straight through exhaust and things. It would happily have a foot of flames coming out the exhaust when I got off the throttle for a corner and things. I have a new WRF250 now and it is a quicker and easier to ride bike than the old one, but it has much less personality.

TS 90 Suzuki 175 PE Suzuki could do 6 rebores using TS 185 pistons to almost 200cc then would take all the teeth off gearbox gears had the cases apart 17 times while i had it! YZ 490 one previous owner ran it on seal tracks did 130mph great bike in dirt trim should never have sold it . Several Yamaha Pro Haulers still have three of them.

Kawasaki GTO 125 - teen work hack Suzuki GT185 Twin 2stroke - speeding ticket for 141kph cop was grinning couldn't believe it Yamaha Katana GS 550 4 - nice n smooth under power for weight Suzuki GT50 - another work hack pretty good for a 50cc Yamaha RD400 2 stroke triple (death machine) open the throttle on this was like holding on to a boat ski rope 60-100mph in what feels like a split sec lol
