Ultimate List

[Trev]

I did consider buying one of those as my first bike, they look good and are extremely cheap.

The only thing that put me off was the power, or lack of.

Yup they certainly have (or don't have) that, wouldn't recommend one as your only bike unless your not interested in getting anywhere quickly! Would make a great commuter 10/20 miles as easy to chuck about, low weight & seat, comfortable and 75mpg wringing it's neck, 85mpg+ without trying too hard.

Yamaha TY50 , Always wanted one of these when I was a kid and still have a soft spot for them now





And As you can see from my current bike my tastes haven't really changed a great deal .

That TY is gorgeous, especially that plush looking seat

That's what I use mine for, wife loves it as pillion even though it only has a detachable pillion pad - she has a small bum! Also great for riding the back lanes in the muck and crap and is perfect for this time of year, it doesn't have much value to lose by not being cleaned very ride, ACF50 in October, the odd hose down during the Winter and a good clean & lubricate in the Spring - don't buy a used Enfield of this man ; )

Where to start? Let me put this way. Stick a kid in a chocolate factory, tell him/her to take his/her pick and and he/she would probably try them all. RD400 would be my first choice, a GT750 from the 70s would be in my top 10 as would be my current steed, an FZ1 Fazer. Not forgetting ultimate grin factor for short blasts, a KTM 690 Duke and BMW RR1000. And my Dad's favourite bike a Vincent Black Shadow, which I would take to the Isle of Man like he did. Finally, as already mentioned a KE175 Kawasaki to rekindle my youth lol.

Black Shadow or Lightning would be on mine too.
