Your best bike ever????
 

The cars have a thread.. so what about the bikes???? (ones with engines, not pedals)

Here's my contribution's...

My old K5 GSXR1000 (long sold :cry:) & Texalium Triumph Speed Triple (Now just an ornament next to my desk at work..)

After many years of enduro i re-purchaced my 1997 3oo exc to do the 2 day world round at the beacons in 1999...my true love:wub:wub:wub

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?::)

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.

Can you close this thread please..........I might just have to get another dirty bike:woot::lol:

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!

my old Honda 750kz which i bought looking like first pic and finished up with a 900f2 engine mono shock conversion and full paint job all done buy me i think it looked great wish i had it now

Best bike ive ever owed was my K7GSXR1000 :D

I used to work for a motorcyle performance centre and blew my weekly wage on this. It went for 115bhp to 138bhp. happy days!
I sold it to buy a ZX10r in 2005 when i started to work for Kawasaki which was way faster as standard! lol

I agree with you Adam. K5 GSXR 1000 all the way.....However that triple looks the business!:thumbsup:

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

best bike
 

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

Pics to follow.

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!!

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:

some little beauts in here.


i've only been riding a couple years so haven't had loads but my fav is my current 09 blade. not the best of pics but here ya go

Here's mine :) Seriously the most fun I've had on two wheels :thumbsup:

Current bike is best, KTM superduke 2008

Note my car is also pink :D

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
