Is the helmet on the hayabusa seat just for show ?

First bike was a Gilerra 50 . Had it in 82/84 (m-reg 1974) . Still have it tucked away. Needs a resto now though. Loved it when i was 17/18. Picture is from the net. Same bike though.

sure is , it spent more time on his elbow, he said the only time he would put it on was when the old bill were around

I can't find the real early pic's but will keep looking I had an RD200 new in 82/83 I had a XL250 RD250DX KH250 GS250C XS500 XT500 XT600T XL600PD BONI 750E (the one with mag wheels and electronic start) Z1300 and many many other old bits of crap too
1200s Bandit 03 new 1450 fat-boy 02 new and I have a GSX1400 STILL

is the supermoto a 450 bob ???

Bumping this back to the top, 'cause I've gone all nostalgic.

Not a single pic of any of my bikes ( in fact, hardly any pics of ANY of that period of my life, all disappeared with Ex's. ) but has anyone got a decent pic of a GS550L custom? Surprisingly little about on t'interweb!

I think, THINK, it's the '85 I'm looking for, but the '79 looks to be a contender as well.

What in the name of gods green earth do you want one of those for ?

Do you not remember the custom painted one with the airbrushed tank that my mate from up the pub had when I was about 17? Dunno where it's come from, but I'm on a nostalgia trip with it now. He used to let me scoot off on it once in a while for a blat and I loved it, cause I felt all big and cool on it. (17, with an RXS100, remember... )

He offered to sell it to me once when he was thinking of getting rid of it, but I was potless and always regretted not being able to buy it.

Not sure what year it was, or if it was completely standard or not, but to me it was great. Think that's one of the reasons I bought that old XJ650 with the step up seat a couple of years later. It kind of reminded me of it in a nothing like it kind of a way.

Heres my other problem in life besides Mopars. (The proper bike, not the Hardley)

Kind of wish the running gear was in a featherbed frame though!!

Mobile compressor - I like that


Love the Slingshot. Great looking bikes. The slab sided GSX-R's were lovely too. Come to think of it, the current ones a re gorgeous.
