Can't really say I've got a favourate to be honest the GS Suzuki's were a great bike especially the 750 and the 550 streetfighter they were nice and smooth to ride and handled well the 535 Virago looked quite nice after I'd finished it and turned heads where ever she went and handled pretty well and the GPZ1000RX although heavy was a missile and would see 150 + on many occasions but I stopped doing that, in the end, I kinda figured starting a new career as a hood ornament might not be in my best interests. The RG Suzuki's were pretty quick and handled quite decently .. but after riding a few RD350LC's belonging to friends they kinda made them look slow so wasn't overly impressed with em. The bike I'll 'always remember apart from a YZ490 I had which used to scare me silly on aoccasion when I was younger was my very first GSX250 after passing my test I went 'everywhere on that bike and she never let me down once she was a good old girl and thats kinda stuck with me and why I've had so many and like them so much.
Yeah it 'was quick but didn't half weigh some when you were just moving it around like parking it up in the back garden at night wheeling it up the entry I nearly dropped her a few times ... allright when you were actualy riding it though
Nice spread of bikes Cuda. On day when I get back into smokers, I'd like to do a KH250 or X7 for nostalgia drag racing.
I know a guy owns a farm about 15 miles out from here he's been buying bikes for YEARS and hoarding them he's got barns full of them pretty sure he's got at least three KH's in with that lot not sure if he's got an X7 or not but wouldn't surprise me. There must be knocking on 200 bikes he's got CB900's GS1000's GT250's 380's ZXR's BMW's Z750 & 1000cc Kwaks + a couple of 550's and 400's he's got Honda Cubs 2 YPVS350's "IT and DT Trail bikes YZ's RM's Maico's etc etc plus a load of old Brit stuff. He WON'T sell a damned thing I've tried a few times to prize some of it away from him it's infuriating just seeing it all sat there I think he's looking at it as a kind of retirement fund which is a good thing I suppose but I'd LOVE to get my hands of more than a few of them.
