Its the only Japanese bike I LOVE!

 

Here's another I'm in the middle of restoring. 1975 Z1B in Candy Super Red, this is probably going to be the most expensive Z1 rebuild ever!! Everything bar the frame & engine cases has been replaced with 100% original NOS items. No jokin I could have bought a pair of mint Mondis for the price of this rebuild & sometimes I wander why I started LOL. Its certainly going to be my last.

Gilles,
Very nice, the colour scheme is from a Z1A produced from April 1974 through till ~ June 1975, mine was the next and last Z1 variant before the Z900-A4.

 

Mike, great looking iron you've got going there. Do you think you'll have it ready for the summer? hopo so, always great to see the classics on the road. I've owned a few 70's Kawis, and just love the sound at WOT. Best regards.
Darrell.

1948 HD Panhead

 

When in the mood - nothing came close to a KTM Duke for absolute bottom of the mountain to the top ride. Absolute thrill ride. Having said that - my favorite all-time motorcycle is still a 1988 Honda NX650 I had - a great combination between super-moto like frame with dual-sport like capabilties. It was a master of none - but great everywhere.

 

my 1998 Ducati 900SS..Very raw feeling in a Porsche 930 sort of way....

 

Me too. Sold my 916 and bought the MV few months ago. Amazing bike, period! Doesn't hurt that it sounds like a 360 Modena!!

 

I just took the Busa for a rip today to pickup some hand tools for my son who starts his electrical trade apprenticeship tomorrow.

What an amazing motorcycle. I would say that is my favourite of all time. Range is as good as a Harley , more comfortable than an RC51, faster than a cbr1000rr, handles better than the RSV-4 and has the stability of a bullit train at high speed. I just wish I had bought one sooner.
I call it the falcon, (cuz that is what the Hayabusa is) and it really is the bomb. It’s lowered and stretched and perfect. Just got risers for it from helibars and about to buy bags. I am thinking a modified tank bag, (bigger than normal) and a tail bag. I don’t need much more than Jean shorts and a Visa card.
Seriously, this bike is like the AMG Mercedes of sport bikes.

I love Busas too, but come on, handles better than an Aprilia RSV4? The RSV4 would smoke it on a race track. Much lighter, much higher cornering speeds.

As to my favorite bikes--I'm partial to my 2007 Ducati 1098S and my 2015 Yamaha R1.

 

Greg, you are correct. The Apprilia is probably the best track weapon on the planet. Mine handles like nothing else.

I’ve always been a gixer man as I like the thickness and the bulk of a Suzuki. The R1 is an amazing machine but I find the Yammy is too skinny and it feels as though I am standing on top of them when I ride them. I’m still in the honeymoon stage with the Busa and like a young couple, I hate to get off her and can’t wait to get back on her. It’s the ultimate road machine. I wish I had gotten one sooner.

 

Best Bike, well if only one,
I am going with the Britten, but those are unobtanium.
Best New bike, I am partial to the Triumph Thruxton, just the right amount of classic, and modern ability.
Best Bike I'd like to own and is possible, an Egli Vincent.
Best Touring bike, rigth now BME RT or KTM superduke Gt.

Yeah the orig ducati monster, 90's 900ss and 916 are all modern classics.
The new MVs seem to carry that theme.

 

I like the Triumph Bonneville Street Twin. It has lots of power and is great for city commuting.

Wow - I like tons of bikes, but I'd say my favorite all time is the 916/996/998 line. I love the 851 / 888 too.

Big fan of the Kawi H1. Also like the Bimota V-Due. Harley VR1000 and love the Sportster.
