I was riding the same bike I still have today and in no rush to change it

Yes Herman :laugh: he was and so i hear is still a prick but his sales guys were spot on and did me a good deal. Just missed a foxeye blade by a hair but in retrospect i had a great 5 years on the Kwakherman wrote:Steve Bateman I think?Big Den wrote:A zx9 B4 in bright Red, some sort of import from an outfit @ Three Legged Cross Ringwood, was full power + a bit which was confirmed on Stan Stevens dyno at Brands, kept it 5 years, the longest serving bike i've ever owned, stuck to the road like snot and so confidence inspiring.

Yamaha TRX850. I dont know why but I loved that bike, I used to chop & change every 5 minutes but I kept that one for about 6 years.
