    Show Us Your Bike(s)

    So, it seems we have scooter enthusiasts so I thought I start this thread off with a couple of my babies

    Here’s my ride. Bought it new in 2000 and just turned 163,000 km this summer. It’s been all over North America and a few (mis)adventures. About the only thing original on it is the frame - literally! LOL

    Re: Show Us Your Bike(s)

    I don't have photos of my first two... but these are images i grabbed from the inertweb in the right colours.

    Nostalgia hit !!

    MBX.jpg 50cc or raw power... at 16 i was a GOD !! who was frequently overtaken going uphill on my way home from school by the old lady on her C90. She didnt even have a propper jacket or any Ramones patches.

    next up was a grey import i got from BAT Motorcyles.

    Honda VF400F.jpg

    a strange bike.... it had a rev limiter which would basically cut the power normally mid overtake with a car coming head on. Such fun. was astep of from a moped though... and i loved it depsite it being pretty awful.

    other brief candidates were a borrowed TZR125, an RGV250 that I had on loan for about a month... man that was fun !!... an RD350 that I blew up twice...

    borrowed an FZR 750 which was pretty good as it goes...

    Then I got a ZX-9R which my brother sold me. The original B model. It was MAD... it was fast as hell, and had a terrible front end that was hell bent on high-siding you.

    Hugely exciting, often scarey... it really was a beast. Classic Kawasaki really... "get a massive engine and put it in... I dunno... anything... pipe cleaners instead of forks?... yeah... that will do". My my isn't it fast kids !

    I loved it !

    I crashed it too and lived to tell the tale. Rebuilt it and rode it for another 3 years or so before some toe-rag stole it in the night. No more heart attack inducing high-side gambling for me !


    here she is:

    Elaine.jpg


    I then heard about a ZX-7R with 3,000 miles on it going for 3 grand. I didnt really want it being a pretty big step down in power but took it for a test ride anyway...

    It felt underpowered (compared to the 9R !!) on the straights... and then I found some tiwsty roads and totally fell in love. Just WOW !

    Planted. No scares from the front end... just brilliant really.

    I've had the 7R ever since. Changed the gearing to trade a bit of top speed for a bit of GET OFF THE LIGHTS ! Mostly standard other than that.

    this a a few years back now ! I've cut my hair since then.

    7r.jpg

    I did think about a Triumph 675 Daytona for a bit.... it's the only bike that has really made me sit up and look... but i cangt really afford one and I'm still dippy about the 7R.

    this is me at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last summer playing by the rules.

    looks like I set a trend !

    Now thats a pretty precious pair right there and the 1975 Mk8's. Good old twinshocks

    What sort of condition did you get those things in and did you restore them yourself? And the expansion pipe on the 370?

    Hi Vlerkies
    The 1975 (red/yellow bikes) are not restored. One has 1050 miles on the odo and the other has just 345 mi. They both have their original Pirelli tires and the one with 345 mi on the clock still has the nibs on them. Both have nice original chrome fenders. The blue 1978 Mk11s I restored. The 370 in the pair has an aftermarket pipe, but I do have an original pipe in good shape and will swap it someday. The Mk11's were both in well ridden condition when I got them and took a lot of part hunting to get them back to reasonable original. I also have 6 Pursangs to restore. One is a match to the first Bul I got as a kid (see picture above) and in very good shape -only 35 bikes separate this one from the one I had as a kid in serial numbers. Probably came over in the same shipment. I'm kinda obsessed with them. I guess that's why we've always been called "Bul Freaks".

    My first bike

    '98 GSXR 750, bought in 2004


    And for the past 11 (almost 12) years, this is my weapon of choice
    '06 GSXR 750


    Both are daily drivers (almost 55K on the odo of the '06), I'm the only one that arrives at work everyday with a smile on my face (which fades the moment I turn off the ignition )

    I LOVED that tail
    No really, that thing was like a top case, I was always riding around with these things in it
    -Lunchbox
    -Chain grease spray can (a big one)
    -Disc lock
    -tirepressure gauge

    -"Whoo, it's pretty warm this afternoon" *goes ahead and crams his vest in it as well

    It's actually quite insulting that even my k6 also has more stowage capability than most naked/touring bikes

    Good man Skud!

    You have a wonderful collection there and with the associated serial number and sentimental history, priceless to you no doubt.
    We also have a pretty strong VMX (vintage moto-x for you uninlightened beings ) here in South Africa. Always great to go out and see the bikes, some of them immaculately restored and ridden and raced on the day. Havent seen many Bultaocs to be honest this side of the pond.
    Apart from the std jap bikes Maico was a really big name, if you could hang on to them long enough past the holeshot or first corner.

    Thanks for sharing your bikes.

    My one customer has about 9 Guzzi's, not sure of the models but they are all vintage and tip top condition. He is a pretty senior person in a big orginasation and his whole office is full of Guzzi pictures on the wall

    The Guzzi founders came out of World War I aviation as did BMW. My first one was a 1974 850T and last one 2006 Breva 750.
