Ex850R

Nice , always liked em, wondered how long it would take for you to get to this!!!

I lusted after VFR750R , also RC30 , Pratt and Osborne had one in the front window.... ( 250LC $1499 , 350 1599 RC30 around $25K??)

The RC30 and later are now worh A LOT and also sound great but you know what

My LC250 and 350 Yamaha are now worth a lot as they were GIANT KILLERS , the 350LC Yamaha 2 stroke killed 750 four bikes in the day.

I always thought i was Eddie Lawson on my rides of the GO Road back in the 90s , no way in hell i could ride what i had properly yet i had all th fun in the world.

What i rexkon i bring from this ( and the guys that lament selling their Yamaha RD250/350LC 2 stroke bikes ) is , dont sell them , ride them fully........

Mate had 250LC , wore wetsuit under leathers for GO RD rides , extra paddinf when he dropped it.

Honda shop in Moorabool St son raced Honda , friday evening if he came by P&O shop he was on back wheel of VF750 giving us two fingers and he was wearing mockasins and trackey dax....

Use your ride to the full.

Yeah, I'm getting older, I'm a more sensible in my old age and I dont often make selfish purchases so I figured I'd just get it.

Age is a transition , from a rebel without a clue to a rebel with a clue , enjoy it while you can ??

52 yesterday and still think I'm 21 sometimes but the body says no no no ?

Ye age sucks , going into hospital 23rd August getting both knees total replacement, years of industrial fitting and early arthritis.

But need to get back out on the bikes again , so decided to retire early as well

15 days later

Picked up this new (to me) zx6r today…..

0-100 in way too quick

heavenly sound from the inline 4 up to the 18k rpm redline

lots of fun ??

      Nice one. 167kg dry weight as well.

      If you're interested (or if you simply havent found them already), here's all the specs on it -

      Great website/tool actually. I used it a lot when I was looking for a learner bike and even more recently when I was debating a couple of other options in my head before I bought the Aprilia.
