Was looking for a thread like this :D

I do enjoy them. Especially as alot of the bikes are before my time and I have to google them :lol:
Grew up living in Sri lanka so was riding bikes on the road from about 11 or 12 years old. :twisted:

Hero Gizmo - 2 stroke moped (not my photo)
Image

2x XR250 Baja (not my photos but same colours)
Image
Image

Then once I moved back to Ireland
YBR125 (not my photo)
Image

2003 600 hornet - 33 bhp
Image

2005 990 Superduke - terrified me after a 33bhp hornet :crazy: :oops:
Image

2007 xt660x - Bored me after the SD :think:
Image

2003 954 fireblade - By far my favourite; :thumbup:
First 100+ wheelies :shh: , first knee down, first track days, first euro trip & track days, first crash (and only) .
Actually loved this bike. But after near 2 years and 16k miles some wee scumbag kicked it over and it was written off by insurers.
So now I have a VTR storm! :thumbup:

Made a post about this a while ago, but here goes again.

Bikes I have owned on the road and off

1. Yamaha YB100 Blue ( Bought for me by my mother and stepdad )
2. Honda H100s Red ( given to me by my mother and father inlaw, was then GF bike )
3. Honda CB 125 Red ( bought from friend in work )
4. 1996 Yamaha XV250s Burgendy ( brand new from Johns of Romford )
5. Yamaha XV535 Purple/Red ( swapped for XV250s )
6. 1992 Yamaha FZR 600 black/silver/blue,
I wombles hated this bike, spent loads of money on it to get it good for the road, dropped the prick, mate crashed into me and then I ripped the fairing up when mate opened gate and it swung back whilst I was getting it out the garden, was relieved to see the back of it, this bike had been seized from previous owner by Johns of Romford, when he refused to pay the bill on the bike repairs, spoke to previous owner, he said that he got chased by the police on it and only got caught when he run out of petrol, then remarked how fast it was. This was the bike that jumped out of second gear and when I complained about it nearly ended in a fight as the bike was within three month warrenty, got fixed but cost the shop around £1000.
When I sold this bike it was in a better condition than I bought it in by miles.
7. 1997 Honda CBR600 White/Red/black ( sold due to born again bikers killing insurance )
8. 1998 Honda CB600F Hornet taihinian blue ( swapped for the CBR600 in collier row shop )
9. 1985 Yamaha XJ 550 Black ( bought from johns and then sold to Bod )
10. 2000 Kawasaki ZXR400 in black ( Bought from johns of Romford rush green )
11. 2000 Suzuki Bandit 600 in blue ( traded in at john's rush green )
12. 1997 Yamaha XV535 In burgendy and cream ( bought from dealer )
13. 1997 Kawasaki ZX6R in green ( bought from John who were using is as a run around :( )
14. 1999 Honda CB600F Hornet in taihinian blue.
15. 1998 Kawasaki ZX6R in red ( burgendy ) ( swapped for Ford KA )
16. 2002 Honda CB900F Hornet in taihanian blue ( swapped for both the Hornet and ZX6R )
17. 1997 Triumph speed triple T509 in black ( swapped for CB900 Hornet, crashed example )
18. 1992 Yamaha XV750s in black ( swapped for the T509, thought the XV was a 1997, big row with the wonker who sold it to me )
19. 2002 Honda Firestorm VTR100 in Teal blue ( swapped for XV750s )
20. 1998 Suzuki VZ800 Intruder ( swapped for Firestorm, sold intruder to a soldier )
21. 1996 Harley davidson 1200 C sporster in black and silver ( accidently won on EBay ) owned this bike for 4 1/2 years longest owned.
22. 2006 Triumph speed four in yellow ( bought because Harley kept braking down )
23. 2002 Honda VTR1000 Firestorm in Teal blue ( swapped for Triumph speed four, because of piss take service cost ).
24. 1999 Honda Fireblade CBR900RR in red/white and blue ( swapped for firestorm )
25. 1996 Harley Davidson FXDL LowRider ( swapped for fireblade and HD sporster ) This will be my Final Harley davidson.
26. 2000 Honda Hornet in taihinian blue ( yes because the Harley is a prick ).
27. 2002 Hond CB1100 SF-Y X11 in black with a yellow tank.

Bikes not roadworthy owned

1. 2X Kawasaki Z 200's both silver I think ( was going to make 1 out of the 2 )
2. Kawasaki Z 250 green ( Z200 and Z250s sold to neighbour when I couldnt be arsed )
3. Yamaha XV535 in various colours, the bike was meant to be a custom bike, but couldnt be arsed and sold it on EBay. I think the colour was mainly blue, I owned this same time as Triumph speed triple.
