What other bikes have you owned over the years??
« on: February 03, 2010, 12:16:28 PM »
Searched to see if this had already been posted, so here goes...

1972 CB125s (my first bike)
1975 CB550F1 (this bike was stolen in 1979-gutted)
1978 CB750F2
1976 CB550F1 (had 2 of these-one sold in bits)
1977 CB550F2
1978 CB550K3
1978 CB125s (commuter bike while 750 worked on)
1977 XL185SA
1978 XL250SA (bought in bits & restored)

I've also had some insignificant bikes...
Honda MB50 (given this when I got the CB125T2-broken up)
Kawasaki KLR600A1  (sold to a friend in bits)
Kawasaki GPX750R (given to my brother as a project bike)
Honda CD200T (totally restored from a wreck-sold as a commuter)
Honda CD185T (broken for bits for the 200)
Yamaha DT125LC MkIII (totally restored from a wreck-sold as a commuter))
Suzuki GP125 (totally restored from a wreck-sold as a commuter))
Honda CB250G5 (broken for parts-was given it but told that it was a 550F1)

But now, see my signature...CB125T2 on restoration bench.
