The 916 was the most desired but I'll never forget seeing my first:

Darn it, got to agree with you, that was one mean stroker if you could ever get one to run right.

Was having a look at a couple on fleabay only the other day but bought another boat instead.

My RG feels like a pussycat around town after the 888 though the power band is a just a tiny bit sharper :-) If you jet them slightly lean they run nice and crisp on the road but go bang if held on full throttle for too long. I'm hoping to get to Cadwell for both days this year and will bring the RG to play with as well.

Yeah 916 for sure, but in Skid's words "the first" It's got to be the Suzuki Katana

The 1975 RG is just the dogs and this month featured in 'Bike'.

The bike that caught my atention for Ducati's was in 1990, the 888 but could not afford one as just got married and bought my first house. Still can't afford one.
