So here's an intro: I had bikes when I was younger 16-20 only little stuff:
Yamaha DT50MX
Suzuki GP100 (wrote that one off)
Yamaha RS100
I never took my test back then. but then after college I got a job 70 miles away so sold up everything I had and took out a loan for a sensible diesel car.
Always promised myself if I ever lived and worked in the same city I'd go back to bikes.
So 8 years later landed a job in London, rented a flat and got myself a little 100cc scooter, which was perfect for the task. Also within very short time, met someone, got married had a kid. Ran out of money, so from then on we were a 1 car family and bike were my main transport.
Had the scooter for a year, gained experience and took my test and worked my way through:
Yamaha Thundercat 600
Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis
Kawasaki ZZR600
Kawasaki ZX-7r
Kawasaki ZX-9r
Finally got in a position to have a 2nd car, but circumstance changed and I sold the 9r, with the intention of replacing it in a few months.
3 years later I'm now able to replace it. But didn't fancy going (or didn't think I should go) back to super fast sports bikes.
I fancied a more 'traditional' motorbike and hence how I came to find this.
I'll post some pics once I've got it.
