Currently we have a 2007 Yamaha XJR1300, a 2006 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom (undergoing repair), a 1984 Yamaha RZ500, a Honda CB350-Four (since sold) and the new Honda CB400-Four
The CB350-Four and the XJR (no, the tank of the XJR isn't dented!)

They were all inherited from my son, Lee.
My previous bikes have been a Vespa 125 in 1960, a Yamaha YDS2 in 1968,

I followed that up with the Honda CBR1000F.

A few more years went past before I got the bikes listed at the beginning of this post.

We had a lot of fun over a couple of years, but we've settled back onto four wheels again.

I'm pretty sure they were available in Aus for a while.Quote:

Splendid machine, easy to ride and very comfortable. Quite handy as I do approx 45,000 km per year!
