motorcycles - proper retro or moderne

[Mr Panda]

I sit here pondering the point of building my as yet unidentified alu frame into a Single Speeder that I'll hardly ever use and it strikes me that there are quite a number of motorcyclists :shock: here. Here of all places :roll:

So what do we have then? Are they retro (as in OLD not RETRO STYLEE)?

To start us off, Mr Panda has a few including 1984 GPZ900R, 1971/73 Triumph TR6P/T140V bitsa plus a completely disassembled Norton Commando

Who else? Own up!!

Currently a 10 year old Yamaha Majesty scooter 250cc sits forlornly in my shed waiting for me to hit the tarmac on it. What I currently use is my Reliant Robin technically a motor Trike and being driven on my bike license.

Classiest bike I have ever owned is a Suzuki X7 250, the RGV of its day

Build the SS, it is addictive just like motor bikes

Nothing....hung up my helmet for the last time last year

Still my bro owns a BMW dealership.....so I guess he won't mind me 'road-testing' one or two :roll: must get down there to visit him.

I've got what will be a lovely project when its finished. 1989 RGV 250 rolling chassis with an SRX 600 single fourstroke Yamaha engine in it. It will be awesome when its finished, 10 years so far and counting.
And a road legal GSXR 750/600 SRAD race bike
