That’s a nice mix of bikes, was the Cabalero so fast it made it Frantic though, the curse of predictive strikes again.

Puch 3 speed moped at 16 Honda CB250K4 at 17, lovely red metalflake paintwork, which I passed test on and had for 3 years, including many blow ups and rebuilds.

How's the Multistrada 1260s? I'm thinking of changing my XDiavel for one later this year. I'm used to the engine (WOW!) but long for the comfort.

Loved it, my only complaint would be the standard seat is a bit naff! Sold now due to impending move to Oz but will be buying one when over there. It was my go to bike for doing everything.....well

Mike, no. Sold in 1978. One of the bikes I should have kept. It was sweet running and reliable, unlike a TR6 I had many years later. The replacement bike was a BSA B50 MX, which was a madman. Then a Matchless G11, a Norton Dominator, Honda XL500........ and so on.

Suzuki TS100, GT250, Kawasaki KH400, Suzuki GT550, Kawasaki Z1B. All before I was 20. Then a lot of litre bikes.
Nice BSA B25, I remember one of my sixth form school friends riding a Triumph version which looked really cool. Perhaps even more so than my Honda, which was a bit quicker.
