Had about a dozen bikes, here are stock shots of my favorites;
1985 Suzuki GSX-R750 Air Cooled, 388lbs pure rush
During the seventies, I rode this 2 stroke 750 triple and it was a great bike, great times
I also rode moto during the sixties & seventies, my 1972 Bultaco 250 Pursang looked like this (note the right foot shift, as I recall it was a backward pattern too -- 1up 3 down)
It's been several years since I sold my last bike. I am thinking of getting another one -- 2013 Yamaha VMax looks like fun
