Wrong Continent.......lol
I stumbled upon this app while using my iPad.
Seems to be an American forum although I didn't realise until after signing up.

I'm in England and ride a Yamaha XJR1300sp in red and black plus a sweet Vespa GTV 250 in Portofino green.
I love riding both for very different reasons.

I traded a Bandit 600 in against the XJR as it just needed thrashing too much.

The gold FZS600 was brilliant!

The Portofino does 80mph. 😏

I've been to Duxford many times ( live about 25 miles away), love it.

She's a heavy beast to push about but well balanced when thrashing her about mate. Plenty of smiles per mile!

Yamaha makes them. I learned how to "ride" on two wheels on a 50cc with a 70cc kit upgrade Zuma. They make them in 50cc and 150cc.
