I have had few sport bikes some early. I.e 1983 Yamaha XJ900 that was fun a few years back and a "classic" 80's Kawasaki Ninja 900R. My favorite is my current bike that is a Hyper Sport "Touring", 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R. I have hard Givi bags, heated grips and a few other nice comfort items. Only been to 160 mph so far a few years back. Not sure I am brave enough to top that one.

Would like a K1200 or R1200RS BMW some day.

Nop, not really!
'06 GSXR600 front end, custom rear swingarm from europe, chassis and engine from RZ500 4 cyl 2T, wheels from a GSXR1100, lots of custom stuff on the bike. But the bodywork is effectively from first gen R1,..

OK, I'll play - Honda CBR600, BMW K1200RS and a Yamaha RD250F. Since it's an air cooled forum, here's the RD.

Yeah, is't it a waste! All these flat straight roads in ND and still haven't truly opened her up yet. Although, in the summer, I hit 100 mph every time I drive her. Maybe only for a fraction of a sec, but its still fun.

No, they're Stainless made by David Higgs (Higgspeed) in sunny Blackpool. Lovely piece of work they are too.

Thanks, after nearly 20 years in boxes and three house moves I finally got round to restoring it!
