Deffinately regret selling the Falco, would have it back in a heartbeat.
Rsvr was to small for me so I don't regret selling that.
Wish I'd kept the Tuoldo a bit longer.
Not bothered about any of the others.

Nice blade Les.
The only bike I regreted selling was about 20 yrs ago, a pal kept perstering me for my YR5 I sold him it, and got an XL250. I missed the fun of the 2 stroke and it handled like a dream

Mostly my first 916. Was the bike i had my best ever race finishes on. 2nd and 3rd place novice at Mallory.
Mods were almost endless LOL
Carbon airtubes
Carbon Airbox
5 spoke marchesini wheels
Bluebrinted and gasflowed engine
50mm custom made exhaust
Ohlins shock
Ohlins damper
Ohlins fork internals
Brembo P4 calipers
Full race fairing...
Carbon Hugger.

Was a bloody superb machine. It was only after i sold it i found out it was me who was slow at racing, not it that was slow. Regret it often. All other bikes could be replaced with ease, they've been great at times but simple enough to buy off the shelf. That 916 though was a work of art.

I regret selling my RR-2 it was in immaculate condition, but it went to a good home not too far away and i keep in contact so if it comes on the market i will be very tempted.

You're far from the first and far from the last race team to have that mate Add "weeksy racing" to that list too

My dads triumph Tiger 100 . Bought new for around £263.
When he died in 1975 I took it for a spin and my mother decided to get rid as I had just reminded her of my dad.
In a roundabout way I bought and sold it. I gave £60 to a mate who then bought the bike for me and I swapped it for a 1959 Thunderbird.
