What does everyone else ride?
Here's my new STR, bought it less than a month before the new model was launched.

Everyone starts somewhere, I started on an MT50 then and RD125LC. I had so much fun on them I would happily have either back. E660DRB and D69 WRB

i started with mt5 too, put a honda h100 engine in it then got an mb5, h100 engine in again, overboard it to 54mm to fit a single suzuki x7 piston. went like stink, all whilst registered as a 50cc so i could ride it at 16 years old, then moved onto cg125, rg125, rd125 and ended on a gsx 1000 katana.

I had an 1100 katana, great fun but handling was old fashioned by the time I had it. I moved up through rd350s, KR1s then CBR600, vfr750, GSXR1100, FZR1000, CBR900 and a load of mx bikes including a ts250 and cr500 that was mad. Got a bit bored of modern bikes so now looking for a ZXR750H1 as I always wanted one when the were new but never had one.

Is that registered for the road? I have wondered about doing this but hassle of getting it road legal has meant I haven't bothered yet.
