Wow, your moto collection (past and present) reads like my wish list. Tell us about your off roaders too. Any pics?

Re:

Hi,

thanks, but not many off roaders -

1997 Honda XR600 - many trips to the Picos de Europa in northern Spain
1985 Husqvarna CR500 - monster twin shock two stroke
1974 Kawasaki F9C 350 Big Horn - two stroke.

That's it.

Rk.

[Chopper the ex Copper]

1991 V-Max here, US full power import. Also got a 1991 FZR600 3HE7. Yanaha brought 20 into the UK with custom pajntjobs inspired by John Kocinskis race helmet, and mine is believed to be the only one left on the road. I saw another advertised for sale, intact but knackered, a few years back and thats the only other one ive had even a sniff of in the last decade.
