Oooh oooh a chance to show my toys

Owned a NS400, sounded crap bit likea duck farting, anti dive forks siezed, tankslapped far too many times and wasnt that quick.

Blue and yellow TZR250 1KT - great fun

Here is my current RGV, it's a bit of a rarity being the VJ23 jap only model, 70 degree V twin, elec start, dray clutch, fully adj suspention and shown with a rather suspect pillion seat (now removed). but its full power and while still only doing around 125 flat out its got some midrange and the power kicks at 7 and 9k and sounds rather sexy if strokers get you going


And here are a couple of my other babys, show is one of my NC30's (the used one - other is a restored ornament in the house same colours) and my RC30. Er the RC is a dream bike for me, nothing comes even close to the feeling i get riding this baby.

Another FZ750 fan here.
Always liked the look of the origional half faired bike.(Mine was fully faired,in silver and black)
Nearly bought a FZR750R (OWO1) before buying my first Duke.Saw one recently with a FZR1000 motor grafted in,.......what a beast.

ok, so it's not a sports bike... My Ducati is my first one... but this is my baby. A self restored and rebuilt 59 Lambretta Li series 1. I thought id share.

This was just after the restoration in 03...

Nice bikes Paul-but where are the mini bikes?, looks a hell of a garden too-you live in a stately home by any chance??
Nice little Lambretta as well Cy
Most of the strokers I have owned were old brits, loads of Bantams-got a D10 in the back garden waiting rebuild now-James, Francis Barnets, Arial Arrow etc etc. I have the TZ250D still as most know-it's my avatar-and I had a Suzuki TS125T which I bought brand new in 1972-it's the only other Japanese bike I've ever owned, I have ridden loads of others though.

Yes..that RGV is a cracker...but feck me...is that a seat on the back...??!!

Nat

[crm250]

Natty, yeah the seat, bit bad isnt it ? it currently wears the normal one which is not as bad, but still looks far better without.

Monty, that is my parents place in northwales, it is quite something. He restores old ducati's and i feel is fitting to keep a bike or two over there to help my lack of space here in cheshire. The RC30 is already spoiling for a fight with some maroon old 175 elite thing.
As for the gag bikes, well they dont move much and the KSR is for sale, but here they are for your amusment

[Monty]

Thanks Paul-see I knew something was missing.

By the way, does your dad know Chris Bushell? he has 18 Ducati's currently and 17 of them are of the old single type, lots of contacts for parts etc.

Its got to be GSXR1000K6...........

What about a Aprillia RS250,its Italian handling and flair with a jap engine and was the best little bike i ever owned but go for the Chesterfield one.
