The Motorcycle riders thread

[BrettP75]

There has been suggestions we should have a thread dedicated for the Holden lovers on here who also have a passion for the 2 wheeled variety of transport. Thought we could chat about anything 2 wheeled, show off your ride etc.
I look forward to getting my new bike in a couple of weeks. I’ll be picking up my 2020 XL1200C Sportster 1200 Custom. I recently sold my 2005 ZX636 Ninja.

I don't get on the track much anymore but here's my bike, owned it 30 years.

This was my old Ninja and the new H-D I have coming on order from a dealer in Melbourne and being freighted up to Sydney

Bit of a switch up there! I'm not a bike guy but the Ninja looks badass

Yeah I was soooo sad the day the new owner rode off down the street. Was such a beautiful bike to ride. For an engine of 0.636 capacity chit it had balls, it was so quick. But sadly the back on this silly old bastard just isn’t up to the Super Sport anymore.

I'm a sports bike man. Coming from racing it's go fast or go home. I haven't had a street going bike for over 20 years. Would love one but finances for another road bike are not there until the new house is built and some decent amount comes off the mortgage.
I'm thinking Triumph 900 Daytona for my next bike, one day...

I used to ride a lot when I was young, gave it up for about 40 years. I let the license lapse. Recently got the itch again so I bought this little Kawasaki Eliminator cruiser just for a little fun. Had to go for my L's again, that was a pain in the arse, much harder than back in the day.

My wife wants to ride now too and get her license, what are those worth? Looks like a nice little bike

You should find one for around $2,000-3,000, I paid $2,300 for mine. A nice little bike that looks bigger than other 250 cruisers. The 98 model is the only one that came out in silver, black is pretty much the only colour you can get, unless it has been re-painted.

Definitely show that one to my wife as she wants more of a cruiser than anything else
