Wish I'd kept my 1983 Yamaha rd350 ypvs lc2 .....that'd be worth a few quid now .....if of the 2 people I gave a shot on it, both of them hadn't crashed it .....

954 blade, red c-90 I sold Bob.

Aprilia Mana. Fast but poor fuel consumption.

My buell xb12 uylsees , the best all round bike I have owned and was just great fun to ride .It was most certainly the best pillion ride out any by far according to my good lady .

Out of getting on for 100 I would definitely say my Maicoletta 250 scooter from the early 1960s. A unique machine that I couldn't give the attention it needed when I was a penniless schoolboy/student. Now with the internet and plenty of specialist suppliers I would love to be able to bring it up to A1 condition. I still see the occasional one at historic events:- The above is an example unfortunately not mine.

XVS 650 Drag Star.

Easy one, this - maroon and cream Kawasaki W650 with the higher bars. So comfy.

The problem with looking back at old bikes is that we tend to gloss over their shortcomings. After I sold my immaculate 650 Deauville and got my SV1000 I thought "What have I done!" as the SV was rattly (clutch) and badly behaved in traffic.
However listening to the SV's on Youtube I've been yearning after another SV...
Which I think, just proves we're never satisfied with what we've got.

Mk3 tmax, but like most 2 wheelers it hurt my back after a while, a taller narrower seat may have helped, generally all my bikes have had good and bad points, my current msx is slow and kills my back n arse but the fun factor outweighs this especially if there is a few out playing, getting seat recovered and shaped next week so hopefully it helps add to the enjoyment this summer.

My old R1, loved that bike but sadly I killed it (nearly alongside it myself) at the Nurburgring a few years back/
