If you were allowed to recall a bike you owned and keep forever,

I miss my Kawasaki W650. Almost perfect retro.

I miss MY Kawasaki W650...and I never even owned one.

Has to be my 79 CBX....what was I thinking!

DV, it would be a pleasure to see some pics of your green ZRX and CBX(?)

Bought the CBX with the factory sport kit, 23,000 miles.....drove from LA to Sacramento, bought it, loaded it in my van, and drove home.....long day
!.......wish I still had it...

Nice bike capture BaxterCat. Clean lump lines. Clearly you dressed just for the pic only, eh?

I mean, I wouldn't wish to discover a shoe on the boulevard.

Yes, GO. I put on shoes for the occasion.

And the ZRX.....I think the 99 has the best shade of green

Thank you kindly, DV...it bring back juvenile memory, as if I had them....

[misterprofessionality]

you guys are gonna laugh....because this isn't as retro or classic as any of the other bikes you've posted. but remember, i did win youngest cb rider at the last rally...



this is a stock image, because for all my fond memories of this bike i did not take a single picture of it. I purchased it used for 4500 bucks with only 4000 miles on it when i first moved back to SC. It was a means to an end. It was my new commuter. It was the first time i had ever ridden a motorcycle without forward controls.


I used this particular stock image because mine had the same aftermarket exhaust slipon on it. It had a nice throaty twin , it was super light, super agile, wanted to pick up the front end all the time. The poor thing was just too small to handle long term high mileage highway commuter riding. that was the only reason i ended up getting my CB and getting rid of this.

It was a gorgeous machine with basically no flaws. It opened my eyes to a different and...sorry...better riding style. The humble CBR500R is something I would take back in a heartbeat if i could.

Hey Adam, I see you and Ken had a nice ride on your CBs.....

We're the only forum members in our area, so we try to link up when the weather and work schedules permit.

There are precious little good roads down here. Don't think there will ever be a Charleston East Coast Rally!

That's two (2) bikes DV nice as they are.

[Mtneers]

Probably this one. My first street bike. 1974 CB 450. I bought it used from a tennis buddy. Begged him to sell it to me. Negotiated to $760. My wife still has a small burn scar from the exhaust.
