I think one of the favourite bike I have had was my Firebird Scrambler. I took the engine down to srm engineering in Penarth Docks to have it extensively rebuilt after that boy could it roar. Now they don't even answer emails. Ride Free Joe.
There was a picture of a red mk 1 if I remember in an issue of Bike late 70s an absolute piece of machine art.
I just remember seeing the pictures of the black and gold Guzzi in Superbike magazine, well I eventually saw the bike after looking at the lack of clothing on the person posing on or neat the bike.
Note sure if these should go on the babes and bikes thread The Ducati advert with the original Mike Hailwood replica was also memorable
Mine has to be this one...did a lot of miles went a lot of places and rebuilt it in several different guises.
Fell in love with a custom Dyna Glide Chopper, but far to impractical for city riding. Have to be Neno my beloved Speedmaster 1200
Is that the Scrambler model? One of my pals has one but it’s slightly different, are they all customer ordered to your own spec
I think it has to be my Exploder. It does just about everything I want it to and a whole lot more. Great fun in the twisties, all day comfy and will give most sports bikes a run for their money. A bit too heavy though. A close second would be my 1974 CB125S. Commuted and even toured on it. Kept it as a second bike and used it as a first bike.
My 2010 Scrambler is the one I've owned longest, doing everything I want of her - & never let me down. However if I had to pick just one it would have to be my old Suzuki DR350. As an all-rounder (solo) it was perfect for me.
My current two bikes are the best I’ve ever owned, my 2013 ST just suits me perfectly, you never have to plan a ride with a Street Triple, just jump on and away you go. It’s like a 250 with a super bike engine! My 1993 Fireblade was acquired very recently and for me it fulfils a personal ambition to own one of the best original unrestored examples of an early twin headlamp blade, it took me a year to buy it (another story) and I still can’t believe it’s in my garage.
