The first triumph Daytona t955i the right hand bends were deadly as exhaust manifold would catch lifting the back wheel until you ground a hole in it and it blew. New down pipes cost me lots LOL otherwise nice bike.
The best for me was a fire blade rr  |

Only problem with Suzuki is the off centre oil pump and can starve the engine on bends have lost a few shell bearings because of it. |

"I have a mate at work who drools over bikes that don't work and he buys them for a pretty penny too"
Would love to have ( don't laugh too hard ) a cruiser type ( for next to nothing, wink wink  ) that I can restore to go with my V-Strom daily rider, my restored C-90 and my GPZ500 |

C90 is cool and blue (ish)
V Strom is a very good ride and orange, bit vibey but a v twin
GPZ is red with white (ish) wheels, thats about as much as I can say about that lol
Want a cruiser, off roader or trailey next |

"I want a c90 but can’t justify the cost of a 70’s/80’s one "
I know what you mean, I always fancied one but couldnt afford it so I wasnt really looking for one but a friend of mine bought 10 in various states of disrepair off a guy that used to own a pizza shop and used the C90's to deliver, he sold them all on to me and a few other friends, apart from 2 that he kept for himself, the wierd thing is that I didnt know he got them from the pizza shop until I went round to his house to pick it up and then found out I used to work at that shop years before so theres a very good chance that I actually rode this one |

I've had over a hundred bikes (used to buy and sell at the Glasgow motorbike auction in the 80s).
I've NEVER had a bad bike.
I've had times without a bike, and that's not good.
Now on a 200 Burgman, and LOVE it!!  |
