Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

I really dig older jap motorcycles. My last purchase was a 1974 RD 250 and I spent last summer getting it back on the road. I had purchased it from a guy in Iowa that had frankinbiked it. He had installed a dirt bike suspension on it, so I found a donor bike, did a lot of cleaning and some painting and in a couple of months had it running again.

It needs a little work yet. I have to replace the seat cover and fix the dents in the gas tank.

And a pic of my 84 RZ350 for fun.

I had an SV but had to sell it to help with school. My pops had a Duc 900 for awhile and that thing was eye opening.

Here's the SV

My father was a long time Harley biker who owned his own repair shop for a while.

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

I rode a RD250 for a couple of years when they were new. Too light for the power and tires, IMHO.
Seriously, if you plan to ride it much, get rid of the under-the-pipe footpeg bracket. It hits the ground when you corner the bike hard and levers up the back tire.:eek::hn

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

I'm going to get my self an SV soon, I just keep pushing it off being a cheap skate.

I love riding, this summer I had a 06 GSXR 750 to borrow and had a blast while it wasn't my favorite bike.

I fully enjoy riding and am the owner of a 84 honda magna 750cc (unsure how long i'll keep her)

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

Bought my first bike in 1997. It was an all red Honda CBR650F3. Loved that bike. Never did a wheelie.

Bought a scooter a few years ago when I lived on the beach.

My current ride, Boulevard M50 by Suzuki, my daily driver until last week when the parent's gave me a minivan. The van went straight to the old lady. I get the station wagon. Either way if and when I do drive something other than the bike it's a mommymobile.

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

The rice rockets are fun.. and dangerous! :D

But, when time passes it's more comfortable to have something "calmer".

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

Well put, my prior bike (a Bandit 1200S with stage II, exhaust, etc) would pop a wheelie at any more than 1/2 throttle from a stop. It was a blast, but could be scary at the same time - a sneeze or mistwist of the throttle could have less than desireable results.

The Harley aint exactly slow, but it wont keep up with the Bandido. Then again, for some reason I really dont miss the 'zuki much...

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

I raced for 4 years in the SouthEast, mostly 600 Supersport on R6's, but started in Clubman on a GS500.

I now ride a Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom around town. Still tinker on the GS and tried a trackday last year, but with a family its alot more difficult to get to the track than it used to be... I'll try to find some pics. :)

Re: Anyone in to motorcycles?
 

Found the picture of the Interceptor.
