The one on the stand is my 2004 Suzuki VL800. Bought that brand new 11 years ago fresh out of high school.

The older one is my new bike i just picked up and need to start tearing down. It's an 81' Honda CX500 with around 14k on the odo. It'll be a project for sure but so worth it when I'm done.

Had a CX many moons ago, what's you plan? Bobber?

More of cafe style. Want something I can zip around down the coast here.

Pretty windy roads that the Suzuki handles well but I want more of an attack postion heading into the corners instead of the soupy ride I get from my cruiser. Don't get me wrong the wife loves the Suzuki and the rides we go on but I just want that solo bike I can go out and have fun on.

I had a C50, the replacement model for the VL800. A bit vibey at 70+, but a great bike. It was my commuter for several years and did the job well.

Yea that's the only drawback to the smaller c50/vl800. The gearing is wierd for the higher speeds and it vibrates awesomely haha. But if you swap in a modified C90/VL1500 drive it's supposed to drop the final gear down a bit and the rpms aren't so high causing that shake.

Here's my bad boy.... I can get up to 30mph and it is crazy....

 

[Punity]

Oh snap my father in law got one of those for 200 bucks it's sweet to ride around on.

LOL ya, although i never realized why the girls bike get that low bar luxury. I know they are made low so girls with their skirts can swing their leg over but after years of racking my balls on that top bar... I prefer a girls bike.....

Here is my 1974 Kawasaki H1E 500 Triple:

Genuine Dencos, Wiseco single ring pistons - bored to 512cc, mild porting by a guy named "Maddog" - using mapping from Tony Nicosia himself (he lived in Tampa), crank by Damon Kirkland, genuine Dunstall rearsets. His name is Buzz - had him for 13 years. Friends who have bikes are rightfully afraid to ride Buzz. He likes to stand on his rear wheel - the trottle is basically an on/off switch once over 4k RPM. You should see the looks he gets when I fire him up and let him take me for a ride! On Earth Day - I add an extra oz of Klotz to the gas just for fun

Every nut and bolt! The paint as well...thanks!

 

[ChefRex]

My RD, need cosmetic finishing, doesn't get ridden much, too many bikes, first world problems

 

[MFWINZLOW]

That's nice example of an RD...is that a 73? I had a couple over the years back in the 80s. Very nimble machine and I love the exhaust note with chambers. Mine would occasionally sport Budweiser cans strapped to the stingers... :LOL:

Here's an oldie not too many people recognize:
A 1968 Kaw A7 Avenger...had one many years ago - it would walk my buddy's 500 triple and his RD...see if I can dig up pics...

 

[ChefRex]

Yes a 73, first year.

First motor-bike I ever rode was a Trail 90 in Michigan's upper peninsula around the ripe old age of 10 or 11. I barely had the strength to hold it up when stopped. Thanks for the post and resurrecting the memory!

Does this count?

 

[MFWINZLOW]

Forgot about a couple of youtube videos...here's the sweet sound of the Denco's...from 10 years ago...(BTK)

And a very brief run on the Dragon...then I realized I had no helmet on...that's a no-no...

Dang skippy. Can't wait to actually use my new helmet... bought it, then broke my ankle before I could use it.

Adventure.


Yeah, I know BMW riders are a**holes.
