So who owns a motorbike then ????

Go on then, I'll be first.

Triumph Sprint 955. Been biking for 35 years but not as much as I used to. Still wouldn't be without one though. There was a similar thread about a couple of years ago with photos ....

This, like the other thread, is tempting me back. I've not had a bike for the last 15 years but do intend to buy one when I retire back down to Devon in a few years. I'll probably go for a '60s Bonneville or similar that I can enjoy riding and maintain myself.

In a past life I rode a CBR600RR. More recently, rented a KTM 990 and did couple of weeks in South America...

Yep - BMW R1200RT + 10 (ten) others mostly older than me. Only passed my car test 2 years ago at the age of 60 - cars are boring and get stuck in traffic - bikes have soul!

Previous R1100R owner and Harley rider.

Bikes have souls but so does the wife... so I have not been riding much latelly

Not at the moment but up until my youngest was born I rode from being 17 until my 40s, pretty much every jap bike above a 400 at one time or another. Last couple of bikes were R1s with a gsxr and a zx9 before those

Not intending to offend you ( or anyone) , but would hate to see a fellow Naimite in trouble !

Dave, yours ago i used own a GSX1100 Katana, which was a weird looking bike when first brought out, but loved it.

Unfortunately this was in my youth and resulted in me getting banned for riding at speeds in excess of the limit !!

Cbr600
What can one say to that !!!!!
I think most off us has been done for speeding at some point in life

KTM 1190 Adventure '14 . I bought it just before Xmas 6 months old and 5k miles , it was KTM UK's sales exec's bike for last year and I got an absolute bargain . It is just superb and I'm really starting to get used to it after 8 years on a 950 supremoto . I will try and post some pics if I ever get round to resizing them .

It was very quick and a lot of fun solo but, to be honest, my wife didn't like being on the back and my ZX9R was much much better two up. The one I had prior to this was almost as quick but possitively scary on a bumpy road

Posted on: 23 March 2015 by pete T15

The ZX9R was the first BIG bike I rode after 600's , lovely road bike and just about perfect power .
