Used to own one of these a looong time ago but I sold it back to the shop after a discovered a nasty crack at the bottom of the steering stem 2 months later but I loved that bike!!
That oil cooled gsxr thing was a pig ugly beast even in it's day..... I can't see one part of it I like
BUT I often think back and wish I'd kept my battered and bruised RG500. The thing nearly killed me, but I loved every minute of it... was riding it a good few months before I even had my licence (was it 1988??)
Was the first thing around that REALLY needed a steering damper and check out the MASSIVE box section swinger, cornered like a well used shopping trolley
Ok then old schoolers, who this then??? Rode mainly in Japan with a couple of years in SBK, as well as the odd GP and BSB rides This pic was from Oran Park in '89
I remember this show called Chips or something. Had two cops on bikes with their sunglasses permanently on their face running around saving the day. This show was around when I was a kid. Think the bikes were some kind of a Honda...CBX maybe?
an old skool bike that I kinda like and used to watch my dad ride around on is the Kawasaki GPZ900R. :thumb: was some kind of an olive green.....
My father had big side burns, and a suzuki 250 two stroker (I think)..... I remember thinking that he should have bought the one with 4 pipes ... it would have been cooler with the kids in the play ground.
Still, his cred wasn't that great with the L plate on the back anyways!!
A 2 stroker with 2pipes that was a killer in the old skool books would be the Yamaha TZR250 otherwise known as the 3ma. Beaauuuuutiful! Two pipes coming out from the tail :drool:
Yeah, I remember you racing that in the Endurance race. You loved it so much you forgot to look at the pit-board telling you to come in! Ah, those were the days... What happened to it, Classic? Did you sell it locally or to that chap in the US who was interested?
