I passed a bike for sale the other day and I just wanted it so bad, brought back some great memories. That bike was a 1981 yamaha XT 250 in silver and black , oh did we have some fun when the M25 J17 was being built.
What bike makes you smile with the biggest grin?
Way back in ‘84, I had a GS125ES. Friends of friends were riding a RD200, RD250, RD250LC and then one of them bought a CBX550F2.
I liked the looks of the latter two bikes, but loved the sound of the LC even with standard pipes.
still got to be my first proper bike aged 19 - stan stephens tuned rd400e with allspeeds. grin factor unbeatable, and made funnier by the fact that hardly any women rode then!!
happy days!xxx
my 1st bike was a suzuki T20 supersix a 1968 model i paid 140 quid for it second hand when i was 17, there's on on ebay now for 2 n half grand (bugger shuda kept mine)
Fs1e worth a few quid now and I remember the RD250 with power valve, yvps i think, what a machine that was, dnd then the gamma 400, my mate had one after he ran it in, he at 140 out of it down the western avenue, very impressive bike.
I bet you have turned some heads in your time Mandy, not sure blokes like being upstaged by girls, I do love the top gear where the German lass in driving a van around the nurburgring and she passes a couple of superbikes, i bet the guys on the bikes kept that quiet, lol
