Loved my Tunturi, i was about 12 year old and you could drive on the gravel roads in 70 km/h.
When i bought my GSX1100 it felt like a rocket...damn it was fast.
And of course i'm very fond of my CBR.

RE: What bikes have you had
Motorcycles:
Premier 250cc dirtbike - bought in '74 (Anybody ever hear of it?)
KawasakiKH 500 2 stroke triple - '75
Kawasaki Z1 900 - '74 (bought after wrecking the 500)
Kawasaki KZ 900 - '76
Kawasaki KZ 1000 LTD - '78
Honda CBR 1000F - '96
During my High School years in the 70's, Kawasakihad ushered in the superbike period. The 500 & 750 2 stroke triples, and big Z1 900 wereconsidered the meanest street bikes at the time. Much more than Iwas actually capable of handlingback then. But since these were by far the bikes of choice among the speed crowd, I had to have a Kawi. Gave it all up in 1980 after a bad crash. Now, I'm back riding very conservatively on the CBR.
