Swiss Toni Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Was going to paint my '85 model Blue/White. Not so sure now. That Black/Red combo looks really nice! Respect for hanging onto it for so long. There's a good few I've sold over the years, for no other reason than to create space! Big mistake! Quote Link to comment

Still nice pics of a nice bike in nice riding situations. OK the oldest 750. Quote Link to comment

So many people that you meet look at your bike and say " I used to have one of them, I wish I had kept it" I nod and smile politely but inside I'm thinking: Shouldn't have sold it then nah nah nananah, you sold a keeper. In this case it's clear from he pictures that man and machine have bonded well and a lifetime of tweaks and modifications have resulted in a true weapon of choice. The mighty hammer of Hanma- Shin salutes you both. Yeah anyone can buy a brand new vehicle and keep it for years untouched. Making it MINE and making it work and perform how I want is what makes any vehicle worthy of note - and jelousy. After all, racers modify their bikes on every outing to achieve these goals - and to win lol. Edited October 21, 2016 by Iced Lightning 4 Quote Link to comment
Fire3500 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 There's a lad in Brigg in Lincs with an '86 on a C plate in blue and white that he's had since new, not the same tenure as you and yours but says a bunch about how people feel about their GSX-Rs... Quote Link to comment
Iced Lightning Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Last time I was in the IOM about '87 I had to go to court for, would you believe, speeding? Moi? Anyway about 70% of the other there for the same were on - GSXR's! What does that tell you, apart from that maybe we weren't going fast enough? Quote Link to comment
cregnybaa Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have owned this 1100 since 1988 and have always used it as a race bike. this picture was taken at the jurby south road race 2007, I was about to win the forgotten era race when the photo was taken. 4 Quote Link to comment
bernardo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have my 750 since Christmas 89 it's an F on a C plate. It's done a lot of miles and is very tired now. My next project is a ground up rebuild. I was tempted to drop in an 11 or 12. But I think I'll rebuild the motor, could be the expensive option. Quote Link to comment

Probably would have gone even quicker without that lamppost on your back 2 Quote Link to comment
