Just an excuse to indulge my love of 80's bikes, a few pictures from a well known auction site, I'm not linked to the auctions, I just have a daily search through and thought I'd share some interesting bikes that are currently listed.
I saw the C90 on there, thought i might have a punt on it. Needs an engine rebuild but thats easily sorted. There is also an FS1E on there that needs restoring.
The one that got me the most was the last one, 750 Kat, it's already gone over the price though of a better one I turned down last year. Been regretting that decision every day since!
Seen prices of fizzies now,i.e.sorted ., saw exactomundo sorted ap50 like I had in the 80'$ C £50.00 running just shy of 6k...... .
Floated around on a few dx's, if i'd have gone the lc route,woulda been my death sentence / way I rode back then . .
Most memorable bike,that posted a picture in my head for all my days, was the GPZ 1100- never forget moment I 1st saw it,evverrrr!,- on the way back from the shift on my little 100- lovely day it was.sun shining an all that , caning it through the villlage,slowing down for a curve- an there it was.... BANG,this mechanical MOUND!!!!,sun catching the motor, 18 setting up a cooooooooooorrrrrrr,let me tell ya!!!!!!.
It had 'presence' a few bikes are like that for me, they almost seem alive! Almost fell off the VT last year coming round a bend when I saw a VF 1000 F parked at the side of the road lol. Not seen one for maybe 20 years. Pick of the day: I'll take the Transalp and the Slabby Gixxer..... ......on second thoughts, I'll take them all!
Well considering I suffer from drooling over these and more every morning, I don't see why others shouldn't suffer too!
tell me about it i have a rs 125 thats a handful running full power on a wet road , and a gsxr 600 even more of a handful haha still would love a rd lc to the collection though they are a dying breed
So what do we have for today, hmmmm looking good: I'ts a dressed up Maggot! Dreeeeeaaaaaammmmmsss dream dream dream Dreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaammmmms Snarling beasty
