Honda RVF400 (NC35) had it for 12 years, won lots races on it and was lovely to ride, just starting it upband hearing the sound used to get me excited.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the engine parts so used second hand ones and they wouldn't last so it became unreliable. I got fed up with it and sold it.

I definitely regret that and miss it lots

FS1E, one of the last they made. Had the yellow for gaiters and slightly different graphics. Sold it for about £400. Cheapest I've seen a similar one for is about 2K.

I know, looked at all the old 125 two strokes that were popular when I was 17. TZR, NSR, AR etc, all silly money. Did get offered a frame a. Ns several boxes of parts that I'm told is a complete Aprilia Europa for £750

Suzuki EN2 125cc. Great little runner. Covered hundreds of miles on it before passing my test in the same year that I bought it.

Passed test and sold on to purchase a 400 Superdream.

Looking at prices now particularly for small bikes I definitely made a boo boo, however....Lincolnshire to North Yorkshire as a weekly commute swayed my decision.

I had a ZX12R, absolutely Bonkers, just pulled and pulled. Left black lines if you pushed hard out of corners. I rode it in the Pyrenees and wore a new rear tyre to the canvas in 1300 miles

Wish I still had it but I now have a BMW R1250GS which is a better bike all round

Wish I never sold my suzuki gsx250ex back in 1986.

If I would have kept it then maybe there wouldn't have been a gap of over 30 years till I got my next bike.

MZ ETZ 250. Easy starter in sub zero temperatures, quick enough to stay with rush hour traffic, light and easy to filter, cheap insurance, easy to maintain etc. It was a jack of all trades master of none.
