Skippy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I found a list I’d made a while ago of the bikes I’ve owned since I was 16 years old. It’s chronological but in some cases I’ve owned more than one at the same time. Here’s mine, all 54 of them. What’s yours look like? Yamaha FS1E Suzuki GT250 Honda CB900F Honda Africa Twin 750 RD04 Yamaha FJ1200 ABS Yamaha 1000 EXUP Yamaha TDM850 Honda CBR1000F Suzuki GSXR750M Kawasaki ZX9 Cagiva Elefant 750 Suzuki GSXR750 Suzuki GSX1400 Suzuki TL1000S Suzuki Hayabusa Yamaha R1 Kawasaki KLR650 Suzuki Hayabusa Honda Africa Twin 750 RD04 Honda Hornet 600 Triumph 955i Daytona Suzuki GSXR1000 K5 Honda Fireblade 954 Suzuki TL1000S Suzuki Vstrom 1000 Honda CB1300 KTM 640 Supermoto CCM R30 Supermoto Kawasaki Z1000 Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenere Suzuki VStrom 1000 Ducati Multistrada DS1000 Kawasaki ZX9R Yamaha XT660Z Tenere KTM 990 Adventure Yamaha WR250F KTM 400 EXC Kawasaki Versys 650 Suzuki GSX1400 Honda XR650L Kawasaki Versys 1000 Scorpa 250 Suzuki DRZ400S KTM 690 Enduro R Honda Shadow 750 Suzuki V1800 Intruder (fucking horrible) Royal Enfield Himalayan BMW F800R Royal Enfield Himalayan Suzuki TL1000S Honda CBR600F3 Suzuki DR600S - current Kawasaki z750 Yamaha Tracer 700 - current 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Bob, the old guys keep finding the same list over and over and post it forgetting the reason they first made it is to reply to each other in previous threads just like this one. Having said that, I don't need a list : Honda Transalp XL650V Honda XR400R BMW R1150GS BMW R1200GSA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a XT500 years ago that I rode around for a couple of months until my mate passed his test. I also had a CCM450GP in my garage for a couple of months. I only rode it twice , the second time was to confirm to myself that it was as shit as I thought the first time I rode it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be fine if well looked after but that is the point really. If you were happy to balance carbs and do all the maintenance yourself don't see why not, if you were paying a dealer it could mount up. Mine was surprisingly thirsty for what is was also. I bought mine on the strength of an article I read about R65's when I was still at school, classed as sort of uncompetitive then in 1979 against the Japanese opposition. I hankered after one from that time on. Looking back I found the R100 a much better bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carbs are always the weak point on older bikes and spares can be a problem, an R65 would need better valve seat inserts to cope with current ethanol fuel content as well. I would recommend swapping out all the fuel lines and carb floats as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spares aren't a problem you can buy practically anything for then from Germany, you used to be able (haven't checked recently) to buy modern fuel injection kits to fit to the old aircooled twins, as well as upgraded alternators and many other bits. Granted probably not from BMW themselves but there is no end of specialist support for these bikes. It's all about money and how you measure the practicality of running a 30 or 40 year old aircooled twin and how much you really want to do it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
