Any classic motorcyclist here
If so name your bike/s
73 yamaha 360DT Enduro (sold) 1982 yamaha xs400 special my other winter project. |
Got a 46 knucklehead I've been toying with since I was a teen. All chopper but it sits in the back of my shop until I need to work on something to cool me off. I ever got done with it I doubt I'd know what to do.
I'd like to get my hands on a indian scout that's a basket case to make a chopper out of. |
Neo you should make a trip up north
or over here to michigan.I have been seeing alot of old Indian motorcycles forsale on our local CL.Id like to have one of those also but after the night mare of not being able to find parts for my enduro I gave up.2 years os searching for staor or cdi box I gave up wanted something to ride right away then I found my yamaha XS400 for $400.Talked the guy down and rode it all sumer till mid december.

No classics
Yamaha TW 200 - sold Suzuki 750 Katana -sold Suzuki Bandit GSXF1200S This is probably one of the reasons my wife didnt object to me buying the Blazer LOL http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...alipers002.jpg This is my current bike as it came home https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357958388 Now with a few mods including Yoshi Exhaust ,shovel chop ,chin spoiler,LED signals front and back, Corbin seat and HID headlight https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357958388 |
Yall keep the t-stat turned down too low up there.
One thing I've noticed on bikes is its easy to find parts for old HD and indians. The aftermarket for ricers isn't as great. Got a buddy who has a 86 silverwing and he gets mad cause I can find parts easier and cheaper for my 46. |
1990 cbr600 f1. Affectionately known as "Frankenbike" because of the usage of zip ties to hold the plastics together
|
My classics are:
1971 Honda CB350 1979 BMW R100RT The bike I typically ride around though is my 2002 Harley-Davidson Nighttrain. It gets about 45mpg and makes up for the blazer's horrible gas mileage haha.:icon_moped: |
Since Im close to being middleaged and riding for the 1st time this my yamaha was a great bike to learn with.Dont know if im going to keep it or not.If I find a good deal on something a bit faster and newer and I got the cash at the time Im hoping to get something better.Been around harleys all my life yet Im not ahasmed to ride my rice burner or another one.

Here's some pictures of my restored bikes. For those of you who need parts and can't find them where you live drop me a pm, I have several sources here in the states and over seas .. I also have many extra parts for Silverwings and Goldwings.
Can't beat an early model Goldwing for cruising and dependability. |

Here's two more I finished up earlier this year and sold. Both are 82 Silverwings
( 500cc Twins ) |

It's a shame we didn't as there are 2 vintage bike barns here in my area and I belong to several vintage bike clubs and can usually get hard to find parts fairly cheap from either source or many of the club members.

No Classics left. My bike today is modern,fast, & fun Suzuki SV650S.

Here's my project:
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1358736584 1987 Kawasaki KZ 305 LTD. I've been wanting a Harley since I was 16, but getting married at 20 ate up all the savings. But my wife is a biker's daughter, so its just a matter of time before I have a Harley in my garage. Not like she doesn't approve! :D This bike will do for now. I rode it stock for awhile, but its now being....modified. Bobber time! |
I grew up around old harleys,shovelheads,panheads,knuckleheads,sportste rs all of them I have no desire ot ever own one.I do want another bike though other than my xs400.Doesnt mater what brand or if its another jap bike or not.I just have a strong appeal to the older ones like 70`s and 80`s models.My next bike will be shaft drive though forsure.
|
I myself have a '75 honda cb500 twin hardcore chopper basket case. Would like to get it rebuilt but thats a ways down the road. Now, my dad has a 70 electra glide (which WILL be mine when he pass'), a 63 & 66 Triumph Bonneville.
Not nearly "classic" but I have an '85 yamaha virago thats for sale. |
