Some bikes I had in the past & the 1s I still have

[felkman]

Here are some of my old bikes that I had and sold for some reason or another, at least the ones I can find pictures of.

1985 Yamaha Kenny Roberts RZ350 two stroke wheelie machine. This is the one bike I wish I never sold, and the most fun bike I have ever ridden! In first, second, and third gear, around 8,000 rpm (power band), the front end would just lift right off the ground. It would beat any mid to late 90s 600 - 750cc sport bike up until around 120 mph where it would be at max speed and die off. I have a smile on my face just thinking about riding the ol' girl. I put around 16,000 miles on this bike before selling her when buying a house in Irvington with no garage.



1967 Moto Guzzi Ambassador tank (this bike used a full sized 12 volt car battery) OMG was this thing heavy!



The trusty 1980 BMW R65. I put a ton of miles on this one and she never let me down in the 6 or 7 years that I had her.



The other 1980 BMW R65 that was found unridden for around 10 years. I got her running and only put on about 2,000 miles before selling since I already had the exact bike at the time.



1973 BMW R60/5 long wheel base, toaster tank. Another bike that had sat in a garage for about 15 years before I brought her back to life.



1994 BMW K75/3 is not vintage but she was a great, trouble free bike for me that I sold to fund the restoration of my 1968 r60/2 BMW.



1965 Piagio (vespa) Sears allstate scooter.



These last two are the only bikes I have now. My 68 BMW R60/2



My 1970 Honda cb450k3 black bomber clone project.

Great idea for a thread. Those Guzzi's are beast, but great for road trips. I'll dig some old pictures up.

Kool I'm probaly going to pic up three sears allstate motorcycles today after work. From a barn find. I only talked to the guys brother so I am not filled in on exact years of the bikes yet. But they seem to be late 60's early 70's

Cool, the scooters made by piagio or the toaster tank motorcycles made by puch? The puchs are super cool little two stroke smokers. Love them.

Well I'm not sure he said they were sears 106cc motorcycles but the engines are 4 strokes. I had to look it up because I thought they were two strokes. But they made a 4 stroke 106cc engine.

What side of town are those on? i knew a guy that had a couple in his garage on the east side off of arlington. Not worth your time.

gotta love those rz 350's, i have a kaw s2 350 that i use to beat up the local cb 750;s with and they couldnt touch me until 100 mph or so when the power leveled off like your rz did. It was fun because they always made fun of my" weedeater" powered 350 until i left 'em sittin , pullin away in a wheelie !!!!

I loved it, problem was the wife's car getting fixed got in the way of me keeping it. I ended up selling it for $1000. One of the most regrettable sales of my life!
