Ian's Motorcycle History, In Pictures.

	Honda NS125R For the time, stunning looks! 2-stroke fun. Would do 82mph! White wheels when I bought it, were never white after that.
	GPZ500S My first 'big' bike! Lasertec exhaust sounded amazing. I snapped the crank and the bike still got me 7 miles to work and then 10 miles of the way home. RIP bike.
	Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis Powerful 1000cc engine, so much grunt. 20 valve, 145bhp and silky smooth. Mirrors look like Mickey Mouse ears. Mediocre brakes. Eep!
	Kawasaki ZX7R WSB and BSB dream machine. Not a huge power output but so good to ride. If you've ridden one, you know. If you haven't ridden one, you won't understand. So tempted to buy another one, but daaaamn they're holding their value.
	Kawasaki ZX9R C2 Massively underated. More power than a Fireblade at the time Lighter than a Fireblade at the time Comfortable and roomy! Got killed by a lady doing a U-turn who felt that using mirrors or indicators are option. Same lady almost ran me over on a petrol station forecourt.
	Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR So good looking, MotoGP technology. Mass centralization. How did Honda make 172bhp feel so dull? Massively capable, but no thrill.
	Triumph Tiger T400 Always fancied one, and saw one going cheap. Fun to ride, brakes are terrible as standard. Enjoyed it for a few months but didnt quite have the room for it so moved it on.
	Kawasaki ZX10R Gen 5 KRT Replica All the photos so far are not my actual bikes, but are all the correct make, model and colour. So I googled for ZX10R 2018 KRT and this picture popped up, and this IS MY BIKE! WSB hero, stupidly fast. Stupid stupid bike. I love it.
	Royal Enfield RE125 Bit of a strech here. I did have 1 of these... in kit form. I was given a box of bits which in theory should have been a complete bike, but it soon came evident that many small parts and bolts were not therel The remaining parts have been donated to keep other vintage Enfields going.
	WR400F / YZ400F hybrid Started life as a road legal enduro bike, but has been pretty much convered to YZ400F spec. Carb has been updated to the much better 450 carb Auto decompressing cam with YZ profiles. Hyabusa coil pack conversion. Just had carbs rebuilt, have not reassembled the bike yet. Check back on it next week/month/year.
