A triumph lover.
I've had
three 1961 suzuki 80's,one was a 125,they were war bikes and had the rubber knee pads on the tank.
Suzuki 250 hustler-first bike to come out with oil injection. Think it was 60's vintage and the oil injection didnt work very well as I seized it a few times.
suzuki rm 125-this was my racing bike at the time for motocross
Can am
Bultaco 400(left side kick) cross country racer
Maico 400 with radial head and compression release to start it so it didnt break your leg. cross country racer
Honda 90-where's the gas tank?
Arctic cat ramrod-worlds first pocket bike,tiny lil thing running a belt to chain drive and a kawasaki 100 cc engine in it(still got it)
Yamaha yz 80
Yamaha rd 350 liquid 2 stroke twin street bike-very fast,took open class cafe racing by storm when they opened it up to all cc sizes,this bike was taking down 700's.
Kawasaki 175 enduro-I was running the rear rim off the bultaco (which died) on this bike and the brake mechanism was on the opposite side of normal bikes so I had no rear brakes on this one,put a jake brake on it and that helped,I learned to master front wheel braking for the year I ran this one.
Pretty sure i missed a few others also,when I was a kid I would drool over those little mini-bikes in the princess auto catalouges.I was hooked!
Presently I have a 1985 vx750 Suzuki intruder. Drag bars,drag pipes,low rider,chromed to the nuts(factory) and it go's like hell when you twist the loud handle.
It's also cherry.
