YorkshireBiker Posted February 18 Posted February 18 There must be a few bikers on here which is something nice to have in common to start a chat about. What you all riding? Currently on a Yamaha XV950R with a non running Kawasaki GPz750 sat in the garage. Profile picture still shows my old XJR1300 but I came off that last May and traded her in a few months ago.
ce**** Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Not a biker but been on the back of a few and love it. I came close to taking my test but didn’t get round to it and now I have kids so that’s that. Can’t beat the sound of a Harley 👌👌
Fet-This Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Fazer 6! I had a proper chopped GPZ750 until about 4 years ago - it was a bit of a *** pit 😂😂
De**** Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Hell yea bro ride till you die. Own 89 soft tail with springer front end and a 2002 sportster 1200.

True but I don’t think I’d get much chance to ride out because I’d have to hire a babysitter. There’s nothing like it though, except for riding horses at speed which is even better.

I’ve only been on the back of a bike but I’d say it’s very similar except horses are more receptive and sensitive- obviously. Horses can trip, spook, stumble or bolt, bikes can skid or get a numpty car pull across them or an errant stone or bee in the face.. plenty to be aware of with both beasts 😂
To**** Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Hi. I have 2 old 2 strokes. Suzuki Rgv250 and Yamaha tzr250. Love my bikes. Now looking for a '95-97 CBR 900rr fire blade.
YorkshireBiker Posted February 20 Author Posted February 20 I spent a lot of my ***s blipping about on my mates RG125 or a DT125. We always planned on moving up to the RGV250 but we never managed it.

We always planned on moving up to the RGV250 but we never managed it. My first bike was the tzr 125. I bought the tzr250 as my second bike and never got rid of it. I've owned it since 1991. I just couldn't part with it.

I was going to offer to buy it as part of the house sale but I didn’t. I don’t know why I didn’t but I’ve regretted not even trying since then.

Maybe in the next years i’ll get one back for myself. At the moment working on a crashed gl1500 wich is going madmax custom That’s what I’m tempted to do with the GPz. I had a GS550 a couple of years back which I started to turn in into a madmax bike but that was a mix of liking the look and necessity. Once the rear wheel stated wobbling, exhaust fell off and I kept snapping clutch cables I decided to let someone else have it and give it the love it deserved.
