Right then...... a potted history of 25 years of bikes wot I have had.......
Honda CB125T - Bought brand new in 1980 16.5 bhp & 16000 rpm ( revved to Nippon Seiki at the bottom ofthe clocks! )
Passed my test on that in 1981 and quickly bought...
Honda CB400/4 F2 - Lovely bike - used to draw circles on the floor with the exhaust collector when you felt like it......
Triumph Bonneville T140V US spec - loved this bike till some low life nicked it...
Anyhow, I then bought a Honda CB650Z which bored me witless for 3 months so that led to
Benelli 654 Sport...what a bike! Had great fun upsetting GPZ550 Unitrack riderswho thought they were the dogs danglies till my little beastie went under them on the Stoke ring road roundabouts.
I kept this one for years, only passing it on in 1993. It had a stable mate from 1984 in the shape of a
Moto Guzzi 850 T3 Cali...this old girl built in 1977 did starship mileage over the next 14 years - although the speedo cables broke with regularity it recorded over 120,000 miles in my hands....no car you see!
Ah well,the times were a-changing & my better half asked me if I wanted a new(ish) bike....
Ducati 900ssie...9 months old when I bought it...superb bike but neck injury from work meant that the forward riding position gave me too much pain so she went to be replaced by a...
Ducati ST2 which suprised many a 748 / 916 rider!
Kept that one for 3 years but a mate mentioned he'd seen an ST4S up for sale for a good price so I bought my current ride as a 40th birthday pressie to meself.
