babache8: I saw a 500RG gamma for sale on Toulouse ... I say that, I say nothing

TO ME ! TO ME ! (for SPA)

But we have gone econologists eh? Good to know how to be happy from time to time eh!

[denis]

yes not very authentic is on! but with all the settings on the handlebars (advance, wealth ..) we could be at the top in consomation! it takes the electronic conso-nometre above all that anachronism I believe

[Christophe]

No serious anachronism ... we are not purists! (quite the opposite ... to do something new with old is econological no?)

Otherwise I just saw this on this page: http://revuedepresse.rg500gamma.net/

Moto Journal - 12 February 1985
PROMOSPORT TEST - All about the 86 champions

A test of the promosport models: Yamaha 125 RDLC, Suzuki RG250, Yamaha 350 RDLC, Suzuki RG 500 and Honda VFR 750

VFR 750 in concurence with 2 time? I dream ??

[babache8]

And no, no 400 NSR. On the other hand I have a copy a little smaller, the 125 which was done at the same time, with the deco rothmans. I also have a 250 74 GT that a friend from geneve sold me in 2000 in Jehonville (luxembourg), several GT125 (no great interest), 2 TZR 250, 1 RG 125 gamma, 1 TSR 125 supermotard personal with a single arm!), 1 125 TDR lightburner, 1 DTR 200 (super bike).
I'm trying to buy one of my clients from his RG 500, but he's tough.
I owned a Kawa S3, but for financial reasons at the time I had to leave .... sniff ...

And then there were all those to ride every day, in the order of appearance and hoping not to forget:
Several 103, 1 50 1, 51 1 80 1983, 1 125 1983, 1985 400 DTLC, 650 1988, XN 250 1986, 87 125, 1988 YZ 750, 1993 125, 1991 YZF 125, 95 96, 750 CR 96, 1000 1100, 1000 98, Thundercat, 97 TLS, 1 ZRX, 1 TLR, SRAD 600 injection, 750 SRAD with Yoshimura camshafts, dynojet kit and FRC: an airplane, 2000 SVS, XNUMX hayabusa, XNUMX hornet, another haya, GSXR XNUMX XNUMX.
That's when my last brother had his license, he got paid 1 GSE 500 (very quickly broken) and 600 XTE supermotard, then to get the fuck every night out of work, he needed an equivalent wheel. So it was a 620 DUKE (with the kick on the left) then 1 DR 650 SM with AàC and CRD line, 1 Hayabusa (and yes!), 1000 GSXR, SV 650 inj, another 1000 GSXR and currently 1 GSR .. ..ouf ...

So what ? The important thing is to have a job that you like no?

Yes it's sure. But in a family rather bourgeois, it was a funny idea to want to be mecano. Moreover it was rather badly perceived. The worst for my parents was coming: my brothers wanted to do the same; my little brother is now mecano auto (at peugeot) and my last brother is also motorcycle (a big concession HONDA in the Paris region). If it's not a family of passionate people !!!!!!!!!!!

Z400B Kawasaki to start, broken in a very short time, very ugly bowl where I almost remained paralyzed, and I put 25 years to give me back, considering me cured now. 3 inoperable herniated discs, which I treated with a fast of 40 days in 2002.

CB400F HONDA too worn to continue in Silver Bowl, largely enough breaks for me ... full of funky bowls joke, super finish of the pilot, then the revelation in a last bowl ... even if I'm not not at all legally wrong,
One, the guy could not see me coming because of the slowness of his neurons,
two, I'm going to die before changing bike .... 130.000 km anyway!

There, a R100S, great, great above 6.000rpm, but the transmission associated with my driving ON OFF me a tire 2.500km.

No bowl, not even a scratch, super pro, super mastery, but fears more and more repeated at the outputs of vacationers ... limits sometimes ... and especially ....

2 dad little big angels today.

I buckled the helmet .....


until the day I saw a show on TV, on the Royal Enfield, still built in India, by smart guys in tong, who still paint the nets by hand while smoking their pipes ....

No more speed, no jumps, no more bowls ....


a prehistoric 500 mono, which 4.5L food 100 and barely exceeds the authorized speeds .....


a kind of fair trade in sum , a willingness to help the third world who works ..... and an initiation to serenity, calm, patience ....

A hymn to bio degradable ... my first motorcycle with spontaneous degradation but like plants, very endearing!



Question charm, it's my most beautiful, just behind the very elegant Kawa ....

After the BMW, it's like the gulag after the court of the Star!

[denis]

that's fine, for a pre-retirement
I had 2 big box drive, without any real wrong, always relatively low speed, motorcycle never damaged (broken collarbone motocross, but it's part of the game ) but I'm careful, and there's nothing violent except the xr, but hey.

Hello,

arrives late, a GSXF 750, a 650SVS a 1000 TLR, a RSV1000 and last time in a BMW RT R80 former gendarmerie 1980

The evolution of your bikes is somewhat singular ... spend a 1000 TLR or RSV modern to BM R80 of 1980 ... it's not really common (usually this is not the other way around?)

Fed up with broken backs and being constantly on the lookout for the little man in blue, the BM ca rolls everywhere, no matter the weather and not ridiculous for the arsouille in the virolos, and in its current configuration even the cars s 'walk away to let me go, and mechanical question is Do It Yourself (with the help of friends mecanos motorcycles) and nostalgia for old machines.
And then the fact of being bi and piloting monos I have trouble returning to 4 bowls.

GEO .

[denis]

Ha! the mono !! in the mountains it's great
an old is not bad, my xlm is not out long, quick + demareur, rims tubeless spokes! 2detail very important, the year after, honda out the dominator who does not have this equipment!
my insured vehicle collect, costs a misery

It meets my criteria for choosing a VFR ... except for the spacing of cars ... In your case it must come from the look gendarme precisely no? (So ​​what does it go through on the other side of the "radar"? )
