Hi Everyone, i just joined today as i have just bought my first MV Agusta. I've been pretty passionate about bikes for 30 years now. What i do buy, i tend to keep for a long time..
Current bikes:
2015 Dragster 800RR - Bought yesterday, from another forum member: 'xOOm' (Ersan) from Inverness, Scotland)
1984 Kawasaki ZX750 Turbo (Heavily Modified Custom) Bought in 1997.
1975 Honda C50 (for touring lol) Bought in 2016
I did have a Cagiva V-Raptor 1000 from 2006-2020. Unfortunately in 2020 i wrote it off after a bad crash that broke my leg... Whilst convalescing i started to look around for a potential new bike & this time it had to be a triple... I came across the Dragsters & loved their distinctive style. Finally in early July 2021 i was in a position to buy one, so here i am 🙂
I saw one of these in pristine condition last night..in a hauler enroute to its new owner.... I remember when they were new. Crazy days for sure. Not many made. Z1R-TC
Cheers everyone, I'm yet to take it on a long ride, so far I've only ridden it about a mile and today it's started raining around here lol 😅. Mind you i need to go over the bike & check everything is ok like, oil level, coolant level, brake fluid, adjust the chain, set riding mode, etc...
Here's a few pics of my 1984 ZX750 Turbo (now 810cc) & my 1975 Ped: @Boriss I live over in Bewsey 🙂
@esq'z me a really rare bike indeed & it was quite a handful by all accounts 😳
And yup that C50 is an absolute hoot. After years buying bigger and bigger bikes, i came full circle in 2016 buying the C50 to do an 8 day tour of 1100 miles to the Isle of Skye and back with 8 friends. So much fun 'racing' each other 😂 The overtakes are.... 'leisurely' to say the least. For a change we actually get to enjoy the scenery since I'm not constantly lookin for the next apex like i am when I'm on the Turbo or Dragster. Totally different worlds & i love em both.
Andy.
