GSXR1100 were probably my number one, things have moved on since I owned one though.
Why isn't the RG500 on the list? Not that I had one back in the day but all my mates who had LC's did.

It would be difficult for me to say my 10 favourite bikes as I like atleast 40- 50 . Saying that I think RD350LC, F2/N2 YPVS, FZR 400 3TJ, 98 R1, ZX7R, Z1100R , OWO1, RD 500, 3XV and KR1 - R. I could keep going on...

When I rode one, for Suzuki, leading others on test rides for an open day, I thought the RG500 was truly fantastic. Never ridden one since, don't want to spoil the memories.

Great idea Alex
Cheers Mark. It's very interesting to see what bikes people like. Everyone here has included an LC...however I asked this same question on the air cooled forum and apart from me only one other listed an RD! One bike I did forget was a Z650. I'd love another.

My list is based on bikes I have owned or actually ridden, so will be a bit different from a dream list.
1. RD400E/F my fave bike back in the day, which quite simply blew me away at the time!
2. RD350LC didn’t own one then but have one now and love it!
3. S3 love the sound and character even if it is thirstier than a weetabix!
4. RD250E my first proper bike that some scumbag stole!
5. FS1/E ah, the freedom that little bike provided us eh?
6. KE 175D, my first dirt bike and what a hoot it was!
7. RD250C replacement for my stolen E not as quick or sexy but a good bike all the same.
8. RD350F2 my return to 2T’s after a lot of 4T’s and did not disappoint.
9. VFR750FJ great all round bike that took me on my first Euro tour (98 World Cup).
10. 400/4 F0 didn’t own one then but have one now and it is a little gem.

RSVR Raced it, toured on it.. again, should've kept it.

Dream bikes I haven’t owned but want to Husqvarna TE300 Do you know anyone who's got one? A modern day two stroke that you could actually ride legally on the roads I take it? I've never really looked at this style of bike period, only ever had sports & touring bikes. This video is of the TE250, apart from the extra 50cc, is the 300 the better bike?? |

I think they are different beasts, TDR is more a super moto the husky is a full on enduro bike, I hope to get a test on one sometime this year, might end up with the much cheaper beta 300 Xtrainer |
