What would you buy?

[Dom1]

I would go out to buy a 1992 Blade in black and silver or maybe a 1997 Anniversary blade with the big gold RR on the side and come back with something completely different.

I suppose when the novice group gets a bit quick there's always the classic days..........................

Early Fireblades were great fast road bikes but they were that great on track because of the funny front wheel/tyre size combo.  And they seem to fall into the category now of pristine and expensive or completely and utterly knackered.
750cc were the apex predator sportsbikes of the day.  I reckon a 916 of that era would be a liability.

I'm surprised you haven't been riding them from day one. At least you'll know what it's like to be faster than some of the others on track rather than none of the others.

I've never, ever claimed to be anything but an average rider but at least I can hold my own in the fast group on most proper track days days rather than playing the big man riding round in inters on an airfield day especially after all the years spent bigging up your ability on here with no real reason to do so.

You can dish the banter but you cant take it but then I've known that for years.

This was banter - recognised and accepted as good banter.

This was banter also. Banter can be returned quite legitimately - making your comment a little pot kettle don't you think ;-)

Just me and Moz being childish as normal.

I was going to call Gobert this morning and utter the words "good banter". I ended up uttering the word "sorry".

I'm too soft!!

Great suggestion Carbon. If you can find me one for £3500 that's not a fucking wreck I'm in.

RTFQ!!!!

I did! and concluded I would be able to win one at auction for EXACTLY! £3484.28

The problem now is that Golden Era Superbikes and the like are becoming a popular classes which is pushing the price of certain bikes upwards.

Liking the 750 idea.

Decent original YZFs are like hens teeth. Might look at an early ZXR

[andy dutton]
