    The motorbike thread

    I've seen a few people mention bikes around here, so I thought we could show them off in here. What have you got?

    I've got this, a naked Bandit 650, but I'm on the verge of a more tourer-like upgrade. Perhaps a VFR800. I love the Bandit to bits, but it's really not a motorway bike - things get cold and super windy very quickly.

    What I used to have...an XS 650...



    Triumph 750, Kawasaki Gpz1100 and Kawasaki z650:

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          From my days in Madrid I used to ride a Burgman 400cc scooter and here I bought the equivalent from yamaha. Very good for getting into the centre of Leeds and and space under the seat for 2 helmets good for doing the shop at kirkgate market too.

                  This is a bike thread, start your own thread if you want to talk scooters.

                    Love that - not sure I could 'live' with a classic bike, though. I love my classic cars and they're irritating enough - I quite like having a bike that just starts and works as I expect.
