Bike Shite

[Torsten2001]

In my quest to own an all British fleet I present my new touring bitch, behold:

bye bye Suzuki!

Hello Kawasaki!

 

 

nb. early 'Hinckley' Triumph's were essential remixed versions of Kawasaki Heavy Industries finest.

Do like, reminds me I want a Bonneville or Legend one day.

Yeah, yeah, but essentially it's a better Kwacker built less than 150 miles from my house!

[wuvvum]

Nice! 3-pot or 4?

[pogweasel]

I know feck all about bikes, but that looks very nice.

[wackywacerwill]

Nice

From what I can see of the lump it looks like a triple, lovely engines those.

[ashmicro]

That's fuggin ace. A mate has one, he's had it years.

 

Gotta get me another bike, and soon before I'm too old.

I saw the title bike shite and thought of tom cruise on a gpz900

I had a Daytona 600 on 04 plate, 113bhp from a 600! Cant beat the trumpets on looks and sound, promised myself a T595 when I get the dosh.

[Torsten2001]

3 pots maximum for me! I can't stand a 4, well, a straight 4 anyway!

Allways liked the sound of these 3 pot beauties

 

Nice Triumph you have there - made near me too.

[michiel]

No Midget then? And no interest in non-Brits anymore?

[garethj]

Nice!

 

When I don't have to do the school run anymore, I'll be back on 2 wheels. I was a London filtering god, so Bedfordshire traffic is a doddle, provided I avoid the Toyota Carina minicab drivers

Had a few of these many years back and would love another. Nowhere near as fast as an RD but so much more fun to own and ride.

My 17 year old 250cc learner bikes were my AJS 250 CSR, Honda CB250N, Suzuki GSX250 & a Yamaha RD250E, a mate rode a KH and I tried it but the handling was shocking!

Just sold this little "gem" as it was a bugger to start. Two stroke twin, 49hp back in the day!!!!!!!

[hairnet]

pog you need a nice c90 you do...........

[nigel bickle]

Tis very nice- but it tends to show your age. Soft & comfy..

 

I've loads of 60's Suzuki 2 strokes tucked away - (all sizes) beginning to realise thats its unlikley I'll use them in anger again. very sad

The likes of these, the LC range and to some extent the KR1S were the downfall of many a bigger four stroke 'sports' bikes in the day. Nowt wrong with four strokes but you can't beat the noise from a two stroke in full chat.

I had this Ural \ Dnepr thing once. Does that count?

 

I want another one as someone has one on the Salford University campus and I remember its stupid puttering ways.

My other half wants one of those...complete with sidecar. Proper bikeshite! As in, nothing like as comfy and usable as a big Trumpet tourer.
