Kawasaki ZX9R C1 - bought with compensation from afore mentioned incident
Suzuki 350 Goose - was a wreck when I bought it, fully restored but only ever managed one ride before selling

Started young with motocross...

CR80
then turned 16, bought a RS50 aprilia...
then turned 17 and passed my test...had an aprilia rs125 by this point...
6 months later i bought a SRAD 600...binned that bigstyle! just sold it recently as it goes!
18 months later...KTM 640SM LC4 sold that
12 months after that...2004 zx10r!
Then 12 months after that, i purchased ANOTHER SRAD, but this one is a little trick :D and not really a SRAD at all! yoshi internals etc...

Owned my 10r for just over a year...it was cheaper to insure than a c1h 636...and for similar money...i knew which bike to buy...too much at 20? Well i survived!
