well when they come up, you know... the two yamahas are rare, specially in the condition they are in... the Daytona is about 90-95% and this RD250 is frame off 100%, show winning. I got two PRIME vintage yamahas for around $6K (not bad in my book).Gotta move when they are avalible. It's not like dropping $8k on a CBR1000RR you know. Which by the way, oops... never mind

He's got thrice the bikes but is also thrice our age. Can't take 'em with you when you die.

So you're picking up two Yammies and one Aprilia this week. How many bikes will you have in total after that? Indulge us, tell us what's in your stable.

A few more people need to ride older kit. Perhaps then the comments like 'my brakes are crap' would go away. Old bikes didn't have much brakes or suspension or grip and people rode them in *shhhhh* the winter

I don't believe! I demand pics of all these bikes in your garage when they arrive!

Someone had to call you out.

Haha so true. My roommate's '86 CB450F has not much in the way of brakes, handling, or even acceleration.

Schu - nice GS-R. Further proves my point about Integras and bikes, I suppose.

...says the man driving a kitted-up VW.

My point is that most people in here own or have owned an Integra at some point. The same kinds of people that enjoy that car are, in my mind, predisposed to buying motorcycles. It's light, relatively powerful, easily tunable, and practical.

I agree in principle with ross... I am still working on the GSR. I am sure some of you know how rare that generation of GSR is, If you see a red sled coming @ the crest, you better be on your best behavior I am working with tom fowler at OPM motorsports, he is building a custom Koni suspension for that car. I will never give up teh four wheels even though I was born on two... it is just to much fun.

Might have something to do with the fact that this is Honda-Tech, eh? (read: self-selective audience) Go to any car forum and you'll find numerous people who own bikes... it's not a Honda thing and it's certainly not an Integra thing.

Sure this is Honda-Tech, but some of our most well-known members (like you) don't own any Hondas at all.
