Our Other Bikes

Hardtail - very nice looking bike. I like the shape of the seat. It has some contour to it without looking fat. I hate big, puffy, fat seats (on motorcycles also).

xschris - also very nice looking bike. Where did you get the mufflers? I would mufflers like that to replace the megaphones on the 400.
 
Ok, here's my 1939 Triumph 6S, (600cc sidevalve, or flathead to our American friends :thumbsup:)
A bit slow, (built for sidecar duty), but the vibes don't numb my ageing fingers as bad as the XS :laugh:

1981 Honda CM400T (The T means tach! pffftt)... got it for 200 bux, put about 1k into it. Just about finished, bonus, it came with a period piece Mac 2 into 1 header, newish tires and bent forks, among other bent things..

2005 Yamaha R1... I cant explain how much fun 180hp is. It really is the size of a 600 and handles like no other bike Ive owned (all 22 of them)... it eats tires! Race Tech shock, some other nickel and dime upgrades... K&N filter etc... no real need to do anything to it.. fast enough as it sits.

1979 XS 650... the Project with New and Improved Double the Budget! (I hear thats how these things go..). Paid 500 for it.. after searching for one.. sitting for 5 years outside next to a woodpile.. the PO thought I was going to restore it... ya buddy.. restore it.

My 1985 Kawasaki KX125. I bought 2 of these for 200 bucks, both as rolling frames with boxes of parts. From the two i was able to piece one together, selling the remaining parts for 100, then using that money to buy a wiseco piston. only other expense was a uni filter, oil, and a spark plug, total cost for the bike is around $250. aftermarket:pSI exhaust pipe and a DG silencer, both came with the bikes.

1976 Carabela moped, traded a guitar for it, it was my first bike with a motor, sold it to a guy that goes to school with me a few months ago.

1983 Yamaha YTM225DX, i traded a 110v arc welder for it, i only paid 15 for the welder at a yardsale. it needed a new middle drive assembly when i bought it, i replaced all of that, cleaned it up and put a new battery in it. after cranking it, it was really obvious that it needed rings, within minutes of starting up the whole alley around my garage was filled with black smoke. i lost interest in the project after i started school again, so i started putting it on craigslist, and eventually got a bite for it, an even trade for my 82 XS400. aftermarket: DG exhaust which was on it when i got it.
 
Current: My 2006 Triumph Speed Triple.
