Title: What road bikes did you have on your bedroom wall as a kid / teenager
Post by: MOzZereLLa on July 27, 2015, 01:53:39 PM
RGV 250 and the 1992 ZXR 750 (fly killer advert that I haven't found anywhere on the net) for me.

I still adore the twin round headlight with Hoover tubes 750.

Thank you, someone else remembers it, was beginning to think I was going mental. Been searching for it for a mate of mine with a ZXR.

I mainly had motocross bikes on my wall as a kid then an RGV when I was about 18.

the original 916 is a classic design..

Never get tired of looking over one when the chance presents itself. I can even overlook all the rusty fixings and dodgy wiring...   :rofl:

Those Jota's have a great soundtrack when they are on song.

Chased one down the A3 with my car windows open just so I could listen to it. Mrs was not impressed. Strange girl.

98 R1 in red and white, and bright yellow Ducati 916... both still 2 of the prettiest sportsbikes ever made in my opinion! There might have even been a harley of some sort on the wall aswell  :tongue:

Yup, that Guzzi and the Laverda were actually on my wall when I was a kid!

And the MV Augusta 750S America.

Superbikes of the '70s.
