Hey seen a couple of people say they have motorbikes so thought I would start a thread to see who has what. I am hoping to do my test at the end of july, doing an intensive course.

so, what have you got?

Hiya i got two bikes both still projects and both are cagiva mito's one is tuned standard waiting for me to paint the bodywork the other is bit more trick fitting a 600cc single with tuned high compression engine lots of torque and light great for traffic light drag racing and twisty roads. not really most peoples cup of tea but i like different.



not the best pics i will download some full bike pics when i find them

bike before i started the bodywork

This is what it is supposed to look like

i used to have a cagiva mito in red just like in the pic

they are awesome bikes i loved it i crashed mine and had to rebuild it and i later "broke" the engine and had to re build that too sad thing is i knoew it was a cagiva frame just by looking at the first pic

i had it for two years and still miss it now ................ i dont have motor bikes any more though i have a full licence that i never used

Ok so here it is, not mine its the husbands, but plans are in motion to get my bike license to drive the beast, he has had a few bikes but this is his current one 2000- Yamaha R1. It has a few modifications that you cant see - so lets just say it aint the bog standard 150 bhp

Can your aprilia keep up with motorway traffic alright? Not got much clue when it comes to which bikes are capable of what speeds.

With 33 hp it will do easily, but on a provisional license it's not legal (15hp max and some power to weight ratio that i can't remember) a risk many take, but it's classed as driving without a license, so take care andy69 until the DAS

wish I was given the oppertunity for a bargain like that!

I am going for my full license anyway and 33bhp is the limit for 2 years I believe.
