my current bike was once owned by Robert Kazinsky, Sean Slater from eastenders, just before he moved to america to hopefully make his name in the film word. lets hope he does my bike when sold will be sold with celeb status lol.
used to love the trikes for fun and not having to wear a crash helmet.

Kwacker ZZR-600 . This was my bike until a cage decided to take an illegal U turn in my path whilst I was filtering at end of last year. When the ongoing personal injury claim settles I'll make a decision over the next bike.

I wondered why Iiked you. You're a modern day greaser!

[Mufftrix]

This was my last bike and had sell it to fund house purchase :-(

Hopefully will replace it come summer?

2007 1050cc Speed Triple

[vogel]

had a zzr 600 many moons ago. the odd superdream 250 and 400 plus a 400 4 which lasted a day got stolen.

like the look of the triple but think i would end up dead on anything that can go over 120, as i know i would try to max it never cleaver but hey once in a while to blow the cobwebs out

Hope you both get the bikes you want again one day and Nibbles i know how much that one hurts took a spill last july on way upto scotland at 70mph. plus had the illegal u-turn done to me, ended up doing a double flip and landing on my ass. glad i had boxers on splitt my jeana from croutch to belt tags. always in leather now.

I love the look of a tripple. But , but, but, what's this, sit up and beg? Now that must be humiliating on a bike. Well o.k., perhaps if you have to because of old injuries. Well that and whilst I have champagne eyes, I still have beer money pocket.

I've had a few bikes, the last being a 2000 reg Fazer 600. I 'streetfightered' it a bit with a belly pan, c/f undertray, twin spots, a nice loud Leo Vince c/f can and bigger rear and smaller front sprockets to name a few mods. Unfortunately due to the birth of my son in 2010, it had to go

I still miss it even now....

the Fazer does look good as a streetfighter or even rat bike. its just got that look to it from the get go.

[Minipeace]

I never really followed through on bikes after my 125 and really miss the freedom but my brother continued and has had a few. He did have a lovely RGV till an accident and now he has a CCM which he likes.

Have to admit after owning mostly 80's 2 strokes, Gamma 500 and Honda NSR400 bikes etc, and a few more suburban ones until the triple, the speed triple was an eye opener shall we say ha-ha!

It was scarily easy to ride? In that it led you into a false sense of security being so powerful yet handled like a 250 at lower speeds? Then it reminds you who is boss every now and again, and scarily fast acceleration all the way up to ?????? ha-ha!

Here a picture of a nice policeman checking my bike after 2 pulled me for going a tad to fast as they put it? I had to sneak phone out while he was walking towards his colleague on the other police bike out of shot ha-ha!

Started out on scooters in the late 80s progressed to rd350 lc's , think i had 6 in my garage at one time , then rd400 yellow kenny roberts rep and finally an orange marlboro rd500 which i wrote off at 120 when it seized and spat me off, then went full circle back to scoots , restoring an old indian lambretta from a rusty wreck to a 60,s inspired street racer , tuned steel barrell suzuki conversion was good for 85 mph , plenty fast enough on 10 inch wheels with drum brakes , alas it went to harringate a fews years ago due to lack of funds , i'll miss it in the summer but i think my 2 wheeled days are done

[Wobbit]

Still on my first "big bike" after passing my direct access nearly 3 years ago

2004 yamaha fz6. Love it

[davidb]

my R1 was phenomenal, every time I rode it though I wanted to see at least 150 or else I felt I hadn't given a good thrash. Fastest I saw out of was 172 on dual carriageway and held it for about a minute. 90 felt like 50, 130 felt like 90 and it only started making sense at that sort of speed. I started to get bored of just seeing how fast I could go and I used to go to the Harley davidson shop cos they had a good cafe and it pleased me to park Japan's finest amongst all the tassel tractors, that is where I noticed the Buell, 100bhp, 84 pound of torque, naked to keep the top speed down and handled better than a R6 so I bought a new one. Only thing I have ever bought new and I still love it!!

[Glamredhel]

I've had loads of bikes mainly sport types. Last bike was a Ducati 996 in yellow. Forced to sell by the wife after my first child was born. She's been looking at Goldwings recently...........
