Always fancied an R1 but for some reason never bought one (maybe survival instinct!)

And me too plus Yamaha FZ 750/Honda xbr500/Yamaha t80 town mate was given this by neighbour,put new tyres on it,never rode it took them off,and broke the yam up.

I had a big old German Diana scooter for a week or two before getting rid of it for an FS1E. Wished I'd kept them both - worth a few bob now.

FJ 1200 best bike I've ever owned wish I still had it....

Terry, plenty of cheap FJ's now to choose from. £2500 will buy you a minter. I had a 1TX and it was one of the most practical (not to mention grunty) bikes I've ever had. Bit thirsty now though against later bikes.

None I wished I'd kept, I always look forward to the new bike. I have loved all my bikes, except for a rough Bantam 175 I had as a youth.

'63 Honda CB72 I had in Singapore in '66 - my first decent bike.
