Was only a biker for a short while, had a Triumph Street triple which was a fantastic bike.

I love the look of superbikes and the duc diavel is awesome but I'm sure would kill myself just as quick, so if I were to get an ultimate bike in future, it would be something like this:

A friend tried to teach me to ride on a Honda (think it was an XR250R or XR200). Don't have a bike license, but if I did, I would be hankering for one of these - KTM-RC200

I feel pretty lucky to be born a little later and starting biking a little later too! My first bike is a brand new MT-125 I picked up in December. Loving it so far and its halved my commuting time! No idea how to post pics up here so you'll just have to imagien but I bought the grey/black one. Next up is a ducati scrambler or xsr700 when I pass my test :roll:
WAS: black on black MR with carbon trim. NOW: IB/Champagne/Carbon ZMC

My first bike was a 1996 Kawasaki KH125
Image
My dad has worked in motorcyle dealerships all my life, my mum was a motorcycle instructor and my uncle a motorcycle mechanic! :)

My second bike was a 1999 Suzuki 1200 Bandit, Followed by a Kawazaki ZR-7.

If I got another bike, I'd love a Honda VTR1000 Firestorm (In yellow!). Oldschool and some may say a little boring, but I absolutely love them!
