How many bikes have you got ?

Post by popkat »

Too many or not enough ??

I'm not sure but here's my list, Nine at the moment

2000 Firestorm On the road
2009 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer On the road
2013 GSXR1000ZL3 On the road
1987 VFR750FH Back on the road soon for winter
1988 VFR750FJ race bike Next on track October
1985 Yamaha XJ600 For restoration low miles
1986 Yamaha XJ600 For restoration although has a current MOT, low miles, bought this one last week.
1991 Yamaha XJ600 race bike In mid engine swap, not been ridden since 2013, don't know when it will be again
1986 Suzuki GSX750SE Katana (with 1229 GSX1100 engine) very long term project, haven't touched it in years

Mileage this year about 2000 so far, most of them on the Fazer. will be trying to get out on the GSXR and Storm a bit over the next couple of months before winter sets in.

Just the 2.
97 storm in desperate need of a full tlc overhaul, that's winter taken care of. (Replacement for my last one that departed to the big scrap yard in the sky last year after 10 years together). This is the fun horse.
2000 st1100 for long hauls and passengers. Fabulous cruiser that is so balanced and unnervingly chuckable. The family horse
Still got room in the cave for 1 more but so much choice.
This winter may see another added.
Only problem is my OCD: has to be Honda, has to be black.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Just the 1.5 at the house. Anothet 0.5 on the way and trying to convince a young lad just over the border to give me one he streetfightered so it can be put right. 20k mikes on it and it is being used by some 17 year old eejit for wheelies and nothing else. Not even a log book with it

Interesting. This made me check my mileage. Mileage shown over the last 12 months.

KTM 640 LC4-E 1416 miles
Storm 3636 miles
R6 234 miles

I really want a small two stroke but can't justify it. I keep looking though.

1 Storm and two spare engines and few odds and ends knocking around. I also have a scrapper of a Fazer 600 rotting away waiting to be scrapped. If I had a garage or space for a couple more bikes I would love something for touring on and a Winter hack that can be abused by the weather. Actually if I had a garage I would probably set up a workshop.

1959 Triumph 500 speedtwin.. currently a rusty heap of bits that I hope to sort out one day.
