The fives bikes that changed my life!

[Harley]

As I am new to the site, I thought I would take a moment to introduce my biking history. I am 18 and have 5 on road bikes to this date. These are my bikes and the things that absorb my money and time!

This is my first 50cc kinroad, a cheap chinese motorcycle wqith a pitbike style engine. This beast put out a grand top speed of 28mph down a hill! sadly this bike came to an end when a cush drive and more practicality was needed!

This 50cc sym jet basix aka piece of S**T was the bane of my life for almost a year. ( in the photo all of the fairings are off) It was a horrible bike that always broke down!

This bike was my 125cc a yamaha ybr! this bike was awesome, not exactly a thrilling bike, but never broke down and was amazing on fuel a perfect little commuter! I loved this bike. I bought it for only £400 and sold it for the same as I wanted a bigger one!

This is a heavily customized 1993 yamaha xj 400. I naively bought this bike as soon as I passed my bike test for only £500 and safe to say, it really was too good to be true. The first day I opened the bike up both end cans fired off like missiles. A month later the bike hydrolocked at around 70mph and died!

This is now my pride and joy. a 2000 Suzuki bandit 600 which I picked up for £1600. It is a perfect introduction to bikes as it has enough power 82bhp to give me the thrills I need and the fuel economy and comfort of a day to day Bike.
