Kinda!

I have 2 monkey bikes in bits in the garage. Been like that for over a year now...keep meaning to get started on them but you know the story...always something else to do.

Got another car though at the start of this year - Corsa D SRI - the rare one they only did for 2 years with the VXR engine!
 
I had looked at the fzr a few times its just too small. All yama's seem tiny. Although I almost bought an fj1200, wish I did really.

Streetfighters are just horrific thats why you lost interest. You thought why am I ruining a nice bike?

Leave the 350 in crates then in a few years sell it as a barn find and get about 20k or whatever everyone thinks its worth.



I would love a monkey bike.

Actually what I really want is a motocompo. I think it would fit me just fine :lol:


I was offered a kwak h2 I wish I bought.

Also been offered an 09 er6f for peanuts I'm thinking about.

I have a turbo sat here for the cb350, but the liners are burst, big crack on the jug.

The gs I dunno what to do with it. Its in bits as I gave it to my cousin who used it for a few months then he took it apart and its still in bits. I was thinking either katana rep or some sort of cafe type nonsense.
 
I just had to google a motocampo - very retro though not sure it'd be suited to the fancy 3 lane motorways down your way! :)

One of the monkeys i have is actually a genuine 81 6V Honda...bought it in a box of rusty bits for 200 some years back...i dare say its worth a lot more now even just for the frame. The other one is a chonda.

That GPZ i had would have been a good size for you i reckon...getting rare though now.

I doubt i'll have a big bike again actually...driving up here is just too dodgy so the car will be me for some time.
 
Ive always been a yamaha man so kinda had to stay with them.every other sportsbike always looked dated compared to the fzr's,they had deltabox frames when gixers were still using box section tubing.they are fairly compact alright but suit me down to the ground.only lost interest in the streetfighter coz i got the 1000.it'll be more of a naked sportsbike than an out&out streetfighter.the fairing got smashed up and burnt by the exhaust when i ditched it so went for the cheaper repair option.plus i dont need two similar bikes.probably never get to finish it or put the LC back together.
