Motorcycles

My first motorcycle was this 1977 Honda CB500F. I bought it in 1991. It's an ideal bike when you just have your driver's license. It's cheap, which was good because I was a poor student back in 1991. It doesn't have too much power so you'd be overwhelmed by it. It starts to complain in time when you're driving it at it's limit. And it can be dropped without too much damage ;-)

Suzuki GSX600F

In 1998, I wanted a motorcycle with better handling and more power. But I didn't want a supersport right away, as that would be quite a big step from a 1977 CB500F. So I decided to buy this Suzuki GSX600F.

Yamaha YZF R1

When I wanted a supersport in 1999, I quickly came to the conclusion it had to be a Yamaha. Well, after some test-drives ofcourse. The R1 and R6 just are the best supersports around. However, I was in doubt if it had to be an R1 or an R6. Sure, the R1 has more power, but the R6 steers even faster. But the R6 also is smaller, it's just a tiny little bike. My 1m90 just fitted better on an R1 ;-)

Yamaha XT500

For some off-road fun, I had this 1978 Yamaha XT500 for a while.
