Your Last Bike Before the CB?

'93 Nighthawk CB750. I still have it and it gets about as much riding time as the CB1100.

i have been riding for about 14 years. my wife also rides (we started riding at the same time taking the class together). she has a 2005 sportster 883l and a kawasaki ER6n that is now oficially hers and not a "shared" cycle.
started on my wifes honda rebel (her 1st cycle) for a few weeks until we got a suzuki savage (her 2nd cycle). when she was ready to move up to the savage (after a summer) i got myself a honda nighthawk. it just wasn't right for me at that time so i got rid of it and got another savage for myself. rode that until i got a 2003 sportster 883R.
the cb1100 was an addition to the stable.

The Savage has quite a cult following with some and the Savage forum is an interesting read. This is what I did with a Savage.

I'm not a fan of the Savage - I had one briefly; I'm too big and that engine was too anemic. But...what you did there...I don't generally like bobbers but THAT is WELL DONE.

VF700C MAGNA. Still have it. The push rod oil seal started leaking so I attempted to replace it. Ended up cracking the engine block trying to remove the water pump. Couldn't find a dealer to work on it and the only mechanic I found advised me to buy another bike because the cost to repair it would exceed the value of the bike. She is still in the garage waiting for me to decide on her impending doom. It is a shame.

Drain the oil and put in the family room as art.

Man, that is a beautiful bike. I always lusted after a Magna. I had Dunlop Qualifiers on my CX500 Custom back in the day . . . Do they still make and sell those?

I could not find the Qualifiers so I replaced them with Dunlop D404s. I liked the white letters on the side walls but they did not provide good traction when leaning. Many times the bike would want to jump from under me. That was corrected with the D404. Thanks for the compliment, my wife wants me to fix the magna. I may, if I find the courage to take on the task.

My Moto Guzzi V11cafe... Still have her in storage in Toronto.

Well...not sure if this one counts...but it was the last bike I owned, and sold, prior to my 2014 CB1100 Deluxe. My 2013 CB1100...



This is the one I bought prior to my CB's...and I still have her today.
A 2009 Kawasaki KLR650...
