My first bike was a GPX250, exactly like this one.
It was destroyed in a hit and run by a guy who went through a red light.
My dads VF750F was good fun.
Destroyed by a cager driving through my dad in a round-about.
And then came my pride and joy... CBR600RR, which I baught new, rode for 6000km, then decided that motor bikes only belong on a track and no where else. So I sold it, because I couldnt afford a $15000 toy at the time.
Bikes are just too dangerous to ride on the road, both my dad and I have both had multiple serious, life-threatening accidents as a result of other peoples terrible driving. So I've given them up untill I can afford to get a purpose track bike.
