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

Re: Which bike do you wish you'd kept?
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.
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

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.

Re: Which bike do you wish you'd kept?
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.
