Bullet

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:

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

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.


Alzo

All of the above....although the GPZ900R was the stuff of dreams. I did have the privilege of owning one.

I had one too for a bout 3 years, not that long ago, great bike still pretty fast and handles OK.


Alzo

Yip bloody quick straight line speed even by todays standards...I got mine from a Doctor in Fort William...it was immaculate....should have kept it... :rofl:

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 :



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
