My first road motorbike was a XL125K2 (RFC 7P) passed my test on it in Jan 78 and still kept it for another 18 months. Was always scraping the pegs on it as doing so impressed the hell out of my mates on their road bikes. Mav my HIF also had spannies, they made it sound like a rip saw. I also had a 750 Kettle with a piper 3into1 pipe. Thankfully I didn't go for a RE5 Loads of aircooled RDs usually the 350cc versions although badged as 250s, the YR5 was wild, thank god somebody invented Reed Valves. Still my Fav bike of my teens and early 20s was my CB400/4 |
