[QUOTE=Palmy;132431]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.[/QUOTE]

I've, quite unfortunately, been in your shoes for a number of years now. Always biding my time for an opportunity to get back on one again. One day, one day...

I am in the market for a new touring bike, I was at a few dealers today.
Top of my list is a Honda of course.
- Honda ST1100
- Yamaha FZ1
- BMW R 1150 R/T
- Triumph Sprint ST

I really don't think I can get myself to buy anything but a honda, but I am giving the others a fighting chance.

Does anyone here ride something similar ?

Few of my vintage bikes I enjoy riding:





That's awesome! Congrats on the new Kawi pick up btw. My first ever bike was a Honda Hurricane (bought new and quickly hidden from parents). Hondas have a spot in my heart and probably always will.
