An idea from another thread.
What bikes have we owned before our current steeds?
For me it's........
1990 GPX250 1992 CBR600 F2 2003 CBR954* 1998 VTR1000 Firestorm*
As well as us having a 1995 CB250 in the mix when Jeanette was learning.
;D
How about the rest of you?
(* = bikes still owned)

Welcome to the site GlossyBlack... Pity that you have to have a glossy black beast though. Nip down to your local Dulux reseller and see if you can't get yourself some Matte black paint Stick around... that is sure to start yet another color debate here...

Welcome to the site GlossyBlack... Pity that you have to have a glossy black beast though. Nip down to your local Dulux reseller and see if you can't get yourself some Matte black undercoat for the nice yellow finish you have dreamed of Stick around... that is sure to start yet another color debate here...
