Absolutely! Then there's the sound... My dad has brought home various amazing bikes from work in the past including a Ducati 916 Senna, an MV Agusta F4S SP01 and even a Triumph Rocket 3. Still prefer the way a VTR1000 sounds with the right exhaustmr.tourette wrote:bloke at the top of my road is selling a yellow firestorm for £1400...theyre a very underrated but capable machine
Looking good fella...
Neither did mine. That's just a piccy I found on the Interweb. That looks like a Sturmy archer set up on the bars if I'm not mistaken..Nictrix wrote:Whats with the 3rd cable?jakblade wrote:These are my first ever bikes.

Did your tomohawk have gears like the chopper?
I had one when I was young and it didnt have gears.
Had a silver VTR as my first big bike. Loved it. Terrible fuel range on earlier model though. £1400 is a steal for one nowadays.nfbr wrote:Absolutely! Then there's the sound...

I went the normal route of fizzy first, amongst over 50 bikes I also had an rd350 or two RobMr Tidy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 07, 2018 10:58 pm Only just noticed this thread!
My first bike was a 1974 KTM Comet Cross bought a month or so before my 16th birthday - my Dad rode it home for me. That birthday was probably the first day I ever got up before 5 a.m. Petrol was 70p a gallon, a pint was 28p (or 30p if you wanted IPA). Used it, abused it, broke it a few times but it spent it's life being ridden around with school-mates to the chip stand in Epsom, Box Hill and places in between. Freedom!
My best mate bought a Gilera Trial, which was a better built bike. Neither of us wanted an SS50 or FS1E - everyone had one of those.
No bikes for some years now, but the one I miss the most is my Kawasaki KH500 - used as part payment for fitting a new kitchen Mrs Tidy wanted!
If I ever get another I'm torn between an H2 and a Yamaha RD350 LC YPVS - I had several RDs and loved them all! Hopefully one day I'll have a garage again.
