Hondas oval pistoned NR750 from the early / mid 90s I think.

Never the fastest 750 on the planet (only had about 100 bhp at the time and was pretty heavy) BUT it cost £37000 new ( 37 grand!!!) and was built buy honda just to prove a point. Iv never seen one on the road but iv seen one on a wall in shop a few years back.

Almost perfect for a ride across America.

The first really fast Kawasaki I remember was the Kawasaki 500. I think it was a triple. The bike that really took my breath away after that, was the Kawasaki 900.

There was a 750 two-stroke that was even scarier, H3 I think it was called. The 500 was pretty hot stuff though.

Anyone remember the early Kawasaki two-stroke 750 triples?

Scariest bike ever IMO. Pure fucking adrenaline craziness.

Yes, I remember them.

There was a KH250 and a KH750 (H1 and H2) they were air cooled and very rapid. The 750 had a reputation as a wheelie machine. I was looking earlier for a good picture of one but so far can't find one.

I never rode one though. Didn't see too many of them in my neck of the woods.

eta: this is a KH750 but made into a cafe racer.. very non original. (still can't find an orig pic)

Meh, I really don't like (hyper) sports bikes/crotch rockets - given the choice of a Suzuki Hayabusa or a (Hayabusa-powered) Suzuki B-King, I'd go for the latter every time.

This, Suzuki GS1000 was quite a useful tool of its day, (Pre GSX and GSXR models.)

Yeah, it was, and the GS850 had a lot of fans too. Maybe I'm showing my age here but I like conservatively-styled bikes like that better than the newer, more wraparound ones.
 
The new, unrealsed Triumph Sprint.

Or a new, modern Yamaha FZS600. My hopes are on a FZ8 Fazer that delivers where the FZ6 Fazer failed to.

I see a Vincent parked near the off licence in Liskeard sometimes. I don't know whether it's a Black Shadow or not, but it's a smart and classy machine.

Yep, I've seen that beast too, I think it lives somewhere around Upton Cross.

Yeah, it'll handle like shit etc, who cares? Turn up on a plastic race rep with matching leathers and people will think you're a knob.

Turn up on that and girls will want to sleep with you :cool:
 
Does anyone remember the 1000cc flat twin air cooled BMW bikes, one with a high fairing, one with a lower fairing and one with a bikini fairing? I think they hailed from the 70s but can't be sure.

I have been trying to find images of the one with the full but low height fairing as it is one of my favourite bikes and I would like to own one. All I can find is modern (very modern) bmw bikes or lots of cars.

What I want is the full model number so I can find images of it.

What about the big two strokes that we don't see anymore.

- Yamaha RD350LC
- Yamaha RD400 (air cooled)
- Suzuki RG500
- Suzuki GT750
- Kawasaki KH250
- Kawasaki KH750 H2

I doubt we will see their like again.

you missed out the daddy

the only bike i have ever had that NEEDED a steering damper and would pop whellies at 70
 
BMW R100RS

I never wanted one before, but now they are kind of growing on me. Being able to cruise at 100 behind that fairing might be nice on continental jaunts.

in fact for 2010 I am going to find an 1100 kat and buy it. Its been years since i did a project bike, last one was a rd400 (coffin tank) - never known a bike go through piston rings so quickly

R90s?

It had twin Del Ortos instead of the stock Czech bings, less restrictive pipes and Marzocchi forks and shocks. In its day it made more power than a Z1 and out handled anything Japan INC could build.
