bonkers fast, all day comfort and amazing handling (since I binned the OEM tyres and fitted dunlop sportsmarts).

and with the arrow decat system fitted, it sounds rather 'rude' :lol:

My crf250r was my prettiest by far, but most fun had to be the strokers. Yz250 was great:wub

On the black stuff it had to be my zx7r, the wife wasn't that impressed with me having road bikes. Dunno why........:eh?::)

[MHeadling]

On the black stuff:

My 250 Rotax Hejira, raced this in the Classic GP class last season and won my first prize money on it, so a favourite of mine.

I really miss my 600 Bandit, did some fantastic journeys on that including from Newtown up to Wrexham (via the Horseshoe Pass), across to Anglesey (via Colwyn Bay) then down to Aberystwyth (via Snowdonia) and finally all the way back to Chepstow, all in a single day.
It was great fun doing track days at Castle Combe and Thruxton leaving the top box on too (well I had to keep my sandwiches safe!)

My Yamaha XJ650 was fantastic at soaking up the miles too, I miss that shaft drive!

I sold it to buy a ZX10r in 2005 when i started to work for Kawasaki which was way faster as standard! lol

[DomSmith]

This is what bikes are all about. No better way to tour the snowdonia national park.

[migsy]

No doubt for me, my best bike was my yzf 426 smr.

Pics to follow.

[Jay Smith]

My best memories are of my Triumph Daytona. Not the quickest bike in the world, but a nice change to all the Jap bikes I've had. :)

My one and only bike - CRF250 R!!! Looking forward to getting it back out and dirty again!!

[ducatikid]

Best bike i had was my GSXR -750K4 which i got for on my 30th birthday. I travelled over to Spain with my brother and some mates to watch the Catalan MotoGP. Best holiday ever!! Now have an 04 Fireblade, i knacked the bottom end so it's being rebuilt at the moment. I've only done a 1000 miles on it (it's second hand) but it is an amazing bike! Best noisy bike was my 916 with Termi's on. Wife used to run out the kitchen due to the cutlery nearly falling out the cupboards when i fired it up on the drive! :thumbsup:

[jonmiller]

[Supercoolnothing]

The best bike I ever had was my ZXR750 L3 in the classic kawasaki green white and purple combo, ohlins shock internals, carbon airbox, flatslide carbs, ex muzzy wsb (allegedly) carbon ram air intake tube, clean air system junked, braided steel hoses all round (as if the brakes weren't powerful enough), full micron stainless race system and a solo seat conversion. I've only got a few pics from when I had it stripped down to do some work to it as as all the others were on my old phone which was stolen a few years back

(apologies for the crappy camera phone pics)

I sold it to buy my current 4xv model R1 and found out that the new owner wrote it off within three weeks of getting it. I'd have another tomorrow if funds allowed

Heres a couple of the R1 for good measure
