Yep Ducatis , great bike to own , had 1981 MHR with the Nissan electrics that would drop out suddenly, bot top heavy.
The new Dukes look amazing.
Wouldn't say no to the tri coloured 851 if I was in my 30's ?

The black and silver bike is the 900R, my GPZ550 was red like most were, although there were a lot of black ones in the UK at the time.

They're loud.... super loud. The termis may sound slightly better but the look of these are superb.
Wish I never sold it...

currently only own the Thruxton.
should have 60,000km’s on it soon, bought in new in 2014
once I finish my ute (ages away) I’ll be building another Harley, but a cheaper one this time that I can drop. Probably a dyna of some description, I like the more svelte frame although the M8 motor shits all over the twin cam from a massive height

Hi All,
I've had a few motorcycles in my time living in Aus since 2011.
The passion all kicked off with this little CT110 postie bike:
Then moved onto something a little more serious:
Then moved away from the naked bikes, would love to own another again sometime soon...
next weapon was:
Followed by my 2 current bikes:
Last track snaps at Phillip Island were doing the California Superbike School Level 2 & 3

Honda CBR250RR - MC22
Had it for a couple years, moved it on as I hardly had time to ride it, and didn't really have the space for it, you can see it lived on the rear patio
Terrible photo, but this is El Wifeo on her way to an organised ride, with her, my, and The Girl’s dirt bikes on the trailer.

Are there only plastic bikes still running down there??? At least there was one non-Japanese marque represented, if only in modern guise.
In order of importance, from 1975 to 2012:
Ducati 750GT
Ducati 750 Sport
Ducati 350 Mk.III
Ducati 450 Jupiter
Triumph Bonneville
and not a single starter button to be found in the lot.
Obtained as a basket case barn find in the UK 12 years back, brought to Oz and restored by me - NOT others.
Now we're talking! Beautiful piece of history, and you've done an awesome job, sir. My hat's off to you!
Not far from here, in this quiet little rural province where I reside, is an ex-pat American with a barn full of 30+ Vincents, almost all in running condition, including a number of rare singles. He brings them out on display every summer at the annual classic car show. He said he started buying them back in the 60's when they were just used bikes. because he couldn't afford to get Knucklhead Harleys, and these were cheaper! Oh how times have changed.
