    What's everyone's most favourite bike or scooter?
    Mine is hands down the Suzuki GT750. My Dad's friend got one when I was about 14 and I've loved them ever since.

    One does not simply get bored of that sound.

    My dad traded his CBR in for a new bike as he said he's getting too old to be riding superbikes around so he went and got this, which I also like

    [​IMG]

    That's a 2012 Triumph Thunderbird 1600. Was taken a few days after he got it, lovely bike. Has shorter and louder pipes now as they look better :p

    Personally hate cruisers and customs but atleast it isn't a Harley :oops:
    When I get too old and arthritis ridden to ride sports bikes I'll go for a sports tourer, like the Yamaha Fazer, all the power with a more comfortable riding position, or something like a BMW HP3, oosh

    @ Burridge

    If I had a choice between the Suzuki Kettle (that's what they used to be nicknamed) and another bike at 750cc, it would have to be this:-

    The Kawasaki KH750 H2.

    Sub 350cc you'd go for an Elsie? o_O

    I'd rather have the RD250E than the Elsie. Set up correctly, the old air cooled RD200 and 250s with the coffin-shaped fuel tanks were wolves in sheep's clothing - nothing until about 9000rpm, then hold on tight...

    Glorious.

    Prefered suzi's mostly,found air cooled rd's 'quirky' with the carbs if not maintained properly/had a tendency to fry pistons-
    fair dues to them,you'd stillmanage to get home,but your bore looked like a crater on the moon!. ;) .

    @ Mark

    I know, but I rode an RD200E back in the late 70s, before learners got chopped back to 125s. I never got to ride a 350cc, as I put myself in hospital for some time before I got the chance to take my test.

    Harley's are like Chinese bikes; a load of loose bolts and parts, riding in formation. You have to have shares in Loctite to own one.

    I've only met one guy with a Harley who wasn't a born again biker, head up his butthole, too amazing to nod back at you on the road sorta guy.
    Until I meet a few more, I shall not like Harley's :p
    But until then, this is how they come across to me as;
