Yep, I still have the Buell. It's like riding a trial bike after a blast the VTR lol
I've not ridden anything that comes close to my Buell for handling, a streetfightered R1 I had came close inasmuch as it felt the same but with warp factor.
This VTR I have needs the bar conversion doing as I can't be on with clipons.

I've had a Mk2 Le Mans and a Lario, I'm off Guzzis for life now!

Le Mans was too long with shite handling compared to old brit bikes I had at the time, uncomfortable, lights worked when they wanted, clunky gearbox.
Lazarus was plastic fantastic, the engine blew on me! I lost a few quid on that one

Some bikes I've had and wish I still had, well some anyway.

You need to tell us the story behind the Dresda Yamaha turbo, it looks bonkers

Once upon a time I saw this Dresda on eBay for 2k, I thought bargain because the Triumphs by Dresda are worth a mint.
I MOTed it and rode it twice, it was like showroom condition so didn't want to ride it much - the obvious answer was to flog it and so I did. It took a while to sell starting at 3.5k and selling at 2k ! It was only 400cc but was mental after 4k rpm

Nice to see the British bikes, thanks for sharing

Chris.

what a collection sir... loving that Dresda..
