do you miss your old bike?

[damz]

since my restriction is up im going to be getting a bigger bike soon but i suffer from horrible buyers remorse (gets better after a while) and thinking about how gutted im going to be when i sell my rvf and open the garage door to find its not there and been replaced. granted it will be replaced with something more powerful and in all respects better but the wee bike has been so good to me that im certain i will shed a tear when i see it being ridden away am i the only one? do you wish you could buy back an old bike? or regret selling it all together?

Yes as i'm bikeless at the moment, but if I had the chance to buy it back I wouldn't as it was a Gary.

I've never sold a bike I liked

I kind of regret selling my 400/4, RVF, Blade and CB1. They were sold for newer/more powerful machinery, which didn't really fill the void that was left when they went. Hence why I sold the Blade for another NC30 and ended up with 2 other 400s (eventually). Those early years taught me what kind of bikes I enjoyed, and 400s cater for most of that. I don't really need any more performance that bigger/newer bikes provide.

Try and test ride some bikes once your restriction's up but before you part with the RVF. It has been great that I've been able to own and ride a myriad of different types of bikes on offer today; if only to solidify what kind of bikes I get most enjoyment out of.

Yes, I really missed my Buell XB12R, so recently I bought an XB12S.

I miss the 7r, not sure if its due to this that I'm not really taken with the TRX.

I miss the brakes from my Cagiva Raptor, they were much better than the ER-6n I've got now.

[JAMSXR]

I miss the 636

I'm planning on selling the RSV soon which I'm not particularly looking forward to, I'm hoping it's replacement will live up to my expectation...

Hi

Pretty much all bikes. Hence I rarely sell any.

All the best

Without a shadow of a doubt it would be my old zxr750. I loved everything about that machine including all it's strange rattles and its much abused appearance.

If I ever have enough space to add another bike to the collection it will be another H2.

I still miss my old GT380. Not especially fast, but quick off the mark given plenty of revs, and terrible handling, but it still managed to be quite endearing.

If I had the money I'd look for another, but you don't see many around these days.

I'd like my CD185 back. My first bike after riding a moped for a year or so.

I miss something about each of the bikes I've sold. If I had the garage space and finances, I'd have them all back, although if I had to trim the list down, I'd have my CB250RS as a daily runner, the XJ900F as a motorway/distance tool and the AJS 350 as a keep shiny/bimble at the weekend bike.

I miss my original GSXR750L. Despite some tatty bodywork it was tidy under the skin, low miles, didn't use a drop of oil and went like fuck (Yoshi full system, K&N / Dynojet kit and rev booster). I'm frustrated just typing this

I miss my scooter

[virus]

I do miss my old cg, it was a great bike for everything i wanted except power, and that's why I got rid, in hindsight I probably should have kept it as a town bike/commuter for the savings in petrol.

I miss the gpz750 lots, im stuck on an old 400 at the moment and really miss the power and the brutal ratbike look of the 750, that and im constantly in fear of binning this clean 400.



Cheers
John
