What a vanful !!!

It was the sight of a 750GT just like that which gave me the bug back in 1974 ... and a yellow 750S.
Its still one of the reasons that I bought and will never part with my 750 monster.

And a TZ500 too !!
Two strokes was where the whole bike thing began for me.
I'd love another one.

Dribbling!

Jeff! You need to give yourself a good talking-to. Two strokes? Yuk!!

My first proper bike was an RD400 - shocking handling and about 25 to the gallon, bloody awful contraption.

~150kg
120+ bhp

but only between 8000 & 10500rpm, just waiting to highside you into orbit, you’d really feel alive, possibly not for long... freaking awesome!

oh, and a mate and I ran a TZ350G in the early 80s, we got around 12mpg out of it
