Malky Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Went for my first ride out on my Thunderace that I swore to my wife I wasn't going to ride but only wanted to tinker about with.... Things have changed a bit in 30 years In the late 80's I always wanted an FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted April 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 12, 2017 In the late 80's I wanted a TDR250, had one for the last 5 years. Now have an issue, I also wanted a Vmax. There may be a change in the wind, boss dependant ofc they are not cheap. Except the cheap ones and they will bankrupt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Agree. I always wanted a Triumph Bonnie, an xs1100 and an xt500......I've owned a couple of Bonnies (only because the 1st was stolen.....Bastards....or I would still have that one) an xs11 which lived up to my expectations (including the rubber frame, ah 70s handling!!) but never the xt500....maybe one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campaman Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I have owned and ridden many different types of bikes over the years (passed my test in 1979) but these big bikes make is so effortless, I was really torn between the FJR1300 and the ST1300, if I could have afforded the newer FJR then that would have been the choice but the Honda just pipped the older FJR to the post on test rides.
