There were 5 of them in our small town when they came out, also 2 Red F2F's... Loomy still owns 3 not his original one but bought in recent years.

Horribly expensive things to work on and almost more expensive to rebuild engine than they were worth :(
I had a 750FD but suffered from the cam issue they all had :( awesome bike when it was going

is that the price, or the phone number ???

from memory, they were about $75k new in 1995. In that ere they were pure exotica, but I think I'd rather an RC30.

now for something special.. i wish it was mine, but I do know where there is a well raced one rotting in a shed :(

It’s not often that you see a mint 1982 Yamaha TZ500 racer up for auction. And it’s even more unusual when it’s never been ridden, completely original, and showing 0 miles on the clocks. In fact, the only signs that it’s 40 years old are two small cracks near the seat and on the rear fairing. Still on original tyres!

Simply gorgeous , wasn’t a lot of 500s around either . I’ve been chasing a tz350 for ages and they are just getting more and more expensive . Wonderful era of race bikes thou

In the mid to late 90's you could buy a nice one of these for around 4k
FZR100's were the same (I had a nice one of them) :cheers:

Nice.  8)

There's a Honda 900 F2B below it also but I can't figure out copy n paste on the laptop.  :-[ Had one from brand new and then another second hand one some 10yrs later, they were nice to ride.  ;D

Yeah that's it. I sold mine with 14000klms on it and in immaculate condition. The bloke that bought it, wrote it off two weeks later and only the rear wheel was salvageable.  :o

My dad’s last bike was a VFR750…..sold it when he realised he was losing the touch…at 81 yrs old.

Cousin used to race a Ducati 250 at Oran Park and Amaroo back in the day…..out handled the Yammies but had no power. Still has the bike.

There's a few blokes still riding around at that age but I guess the mindset needs to change a little to not wanna race into corners a bit hot.  :)

Be interesting too know what that Ducati would be worth now?

Tell tale sign…get home and forget to put your foot down when stopped.

Cousin also has a Moto Guzzi 500 in pieces…..he’s 70yrs old and his “normal” bike is a Buell..

Umm yeah, that's a very big sign.  :o

I would still love a Guzzi. When at Bathurst one yeah when Crosby was at his best, there was one floating around and the speed that he could get across the mountain was crazy and then one lap, he came unstuck and that bike and him did a major cartwheel across it with the bike totally destroying itself.  :'( Such a sweet sound came from the exhaust at  220kmhs at that point.  8) It was a 750 Le Mans.

I've had this since I was 19. 1000cc with lots of mods all round. Still goes hard and is super reliable. Only problem is my knee starts complaining after 3-4 hrs in the saddle nowadays.

One of my mates ticked it off his bucket list this year. He said it was just mind blowing the speed that they went past you at.  :o He stayed with a bloke from our cycling days and was right on the course.  ;D

After almost 2 yeas gathering dust (life just got in the way), I finally got motivated to get back out there. Got a weekend away with some mates on the bikes next month so thought I'd give it a bit of a once over. New plugs, air & oil filter, new oil, brake & clutch fluids, radiator flush... and a good wash & polish. Short ride today and all is good  ;D

It's an '05 CBR1100XX that I've had since new. big list of modifications to set it up as a mile muncher -
VFR bars, Fireblade rear shock and heavier progressive springs in the front, cruise control, UHF, LED light upgrade & LED spotlights, touring screen, heated grips, GPS, Starcom intercom system, custom seat, givi panniers, scottoiler, front fender extender, radiator protector & rear hugger.
