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.
Slow day Dom.
Called me the Wizard

It's the L1 model, yes?? I'm not sure.
I didn't have it on my wall but as a kid I used to stop everytime I walked past one of these near my parents house :

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:
Cheers Moz, copied pasted and emailed.
Quoteand for some strange reason:
I remember that!
Something beginning with 'Q'.
'Quantum' or 'Quasar' or something...
Off to google...
Quasar, I seem to recall.
*no googling here
Correct...... I had to google, but it all came flooding back, in Rambo style flashbacks.
FZR square headlight exup I think...400??........

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:

sensible chap, but I might be biased ;)
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.
All of the above....although the GPZ900R was the stuff of dreams. I did have the privilege of owning one.

One of the first bikes to make me just go WOW I have to become a biker, saw it first in Shorrocks in Preston whilst my uncle was getting bits.
Former GPZ900 owner too..... earned myself quite the reputation up the cat & fiddle riding that

It was Farrah who unleashed my nipple fetish...immense...
She was lovely....
Indeed...... but I was more of a Jaclyn Smith fan........
'scuse me, I'm off for a wank
I had an CBR600RR doing a wheelie round a corner with some bloke wearing wooden knee sliders and a hand drawn (by me) picture of my aprilia RS50

The Lusardi, a classic.
