The 1100 just made my penis twitch.

How much did you pay?

I spy slingy running gear on the greenhouse 1100.

When I was a spooty yoof and, merely, dreaming of owning my first bike, a lad up the road had a red GSX750ET, exactly the same as the one in the photo.
It was one of two bikes that confirmed I would, indeed, own a bike as I could, (the second was a Montesa trials bike that a teacher used to commute to school on)!

So you also have a ZX10R, and an R1, among others at the moment. Can I just say,



BASTARD!

Which do you prefer riding, new or old stuff? [/stevo as b4-type question]

I'm starting to hanker for newer stuff more, but then I haven't ridden anything more recent than my Fazer.
Those GSX's in red always make me think of Steve Burns' turbo 1100 one, before he went down the Spondon road Twisted Evil
If that GSXR turned out to be the one I had nicked, would you give it to me? Laughing
Nice finds, especially the GSX at £500. Please don't tell if you got the GSXR cheap, or I might have to come and kill you Laughing

The 04 zx10r was steve platers old road bike, it just wants to kill you,
and the 04 r1 is one of the best bike I have owned,
steve burns had a house just up the road from me, he offered me a go on that spondon turbo. but it had just started raining.
he is over in oz now, all them steel pins in his legs give him jip when its cold.

I used a montesa 123 on the fields near me back in 1977,
brill bike.

The teacher, (Graham Boothby), who had the Montesa, went on to become something of name in the classic racing scene with the company he owns and runs, here,:-
