I started out on a Honda C200. 87 cc and 5 hp of rip-snorting power. Top speed (indicated) was about 63 mph if you were completely under the paint and there was no head wind. :woohooBright red of course for the girls it would bring.:devious:devious:devious

Let's see, went from the Honda 90 directly to a Kawasaki H1, 500cc triple. Evil bike!!irate An absolute rocketship, for it's day, but it had a hinge in the middle. "Tank-slappers" were prety common fare.:scared:scared. Built, raced & crashed that one and got another. Traded "down" to a Honda CB 450 and sold that bike to buy my wife's engagement ring. :thumbup:thumbup Married now, going on 35 years! :love2:love2 Promptly 6 weeks after we married, she went back to work to help in the purchase of a 1973 Kawasaki Z-1. Great bike but also hinged in the middle if pushed hard.irate Sold that one & acquired a Silver Z1-R. 1978 I think but not sure. Sold that and bought a 1979 Yamaha XS-11. Came off that and took home a 1981Suzuki GS1100e. Another rocketship for it's day. Sold that & was off bikes until I bought a 1986Suzuki GSX1000R. Very fast bike. Sold it fairly quickly, I probably would have injured myself on that one.:scared. Off bikes for another period before purchasing a 1979 Honda CBX. One of my all-time loves. Beautiful sound. A pig of course because of the engine width but I still love the sound!!:devious:thumbup Sold the CBX to a guy with more cash than I could stand to turn down and bought a 2003 BMW K1200RS. Very nice bike. Big and heavy but so am I so, there you have it.:biggrinLast two bikes, that I still have, are a 2008 Kawasaki Concours 1400 and the 2000 Aprilia Mille RSVR. It's been an absolute blast!:thumbup Cheers all!:biggrin

Came a bit late to bikes , BUT first real bike was an RD250 but not the LC (boo hiss!) Loads of blue smoke and 90mph on the clock if I lay down on the tank. Still got one of the mirrors in the garage...but sold the bike as a non-runner a few years back.

I had a Kawasaki AR50 Special, Peterborough Kawasaki did a handful of em, technically it was a big bore kit that turned it into an 80cc, was good for 65 mph and sounded like a wasp stuck in a jamjar due to the Micron exhaust, will post pictures if my mum can find them :thumbup:thumbup

I had a nice Blue AP50, it would hit 60 with your head down on the tank going down a hill with a tail wind. Was faster than my mates Fizzie but not as quick as those Fantic's.
It ended up getting totally splattered by a green Austin Maxi along with my left leg.
