I was recently yapping to mates about the time I went to Cardiff to see Town on a Honda Novio 50cc moped in the early 70's and we got on about our favourite motorbikes we had owned over the years. Probably brought on because I've recently got two wheels after six or seven years without.
A list of mine which are mostly 70's and 80's machines but about yours?

Honda Novio 50cc moped
Yamaha FS1E 50cc moped
Raleigh Runabout 50cc moped
Honda C50 (4 of them)
Honda C70
Honda C90 (loads of them)
Yamaha DT175
Yamaha RD200
Kawasaki Z200
Kawasaki Z250
Kawasaki Z650
Kawasaki Z250B
Kawasaki Z250C
Honda CB400F (6 of them)
Yamaha RD400 (4 of them)
Suzuki GT380
Suzuki GS750 (2 of them)
Suzuki GS1000
Suzuki GS650 Katana
Honda 400F (import)
Yamaha RD350

I'm currently doing up a 1984 Honda VT250 and riding a 2000 Honda 650 Deauville.

I'd forgotten about the two Suzuki GT750s, they called them the kettle,  absolute nightmare of a bike.

Never passed my bike test so only rode up to 250cc on L Plates.

Bad smash on my Honda CD175, not my fault, ended up in theatre at the old Grimsby Hospital. One leg slightly shorter than the other since and can't sit on my heels. Was well compensated for it by the offending car drivers insurance company (over £3,000) lot of money in the late 70's.

Couldn't afford a Fizzy in the early days   so...

Motobecane 50cc
Puch Maxi 50cc
Honda Moped 50cc (step through not the cub)
Suzuki GT125
Honda CD175
Yamaha RD250LC

My mate went on to own a Kawasaki Z1300, a monster of a bike.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

The only bike I owned was in the 60's it was an Ambassador 200cc

Then went into cars a Morris Minor was my first which did not have very good brakes  .  No MOT in those days.
