NUMBER 1:

No contest, the CB750 started the modern era, 4 Cylinders, Electric Start, Disc Brake and very reliable! [web pic].

NUMBER 2:

The Kawasaki Z1A (Jaffa), a superb successor to the CB750, huge power, successful on the race track and highly sought after today. [web pic]

NUMBER 3:

The Honda CB500/4, a great evolution of the CB750, lighter, quieter, smoother. A beautiful 500cc Motorcycle. [web pic]

NUMBER 4:

I love this Bike, the CBX1000A and the B and C's. This 'A' line up from the VJMC was 'outside' the 2007 Sydney Motorcycle Show.

NUMBER 5:

The Suzuki GT750 (Waterbottle), so reliable and quiet for a 2 Stroke. Surprisingly fast and smooth. Highly sought after in good condition.

NUMBER 6:

Only Honda would have charged into Oval Piston V4, sorry V8ish Motorcycles. The NR750 looks ageless, very collectible. [web pic]

NUMBER 7:

Yes, it should be higher the Honda RC30 did it all, great Road Bike and Racer and so collectable.

NUMBER 8:

Honda joined 'the club' and beat Ducati with the VTR1000SP1, won the WSB (twice), Suzuka 8 Hour, AMA SBK Series and the Bol d'Or!! [web pic]

NUMBER 9:

OK OK, I know the Kawasaki H1A 500 was a 'Widowmaker' but, it created a sensation when released, and is highy sought after today. [web pic]

NUMBER 10:

Heh, I dont know either, I just love the MV AGUSTA MV750S. The styling and appearance, not the reliabilty.

THE 'BLOOPERS' LIST: Hmmm, this is really easy for me and I'm NOT going to make Triumph (Meriden only) fans very happy!!

TRIUMPH TRIDENT T150V: My Trident's reliability or lack thereof included stretched and failed Triplex Primary Chains (side plate failures), soaked 'Borg and Beck' Dry Plate Clutch (wet all the time), appalling Amal Carbies, sheared Choke Cable nipple (centre Carbie of course), blown Oil Line, weeping Head Gasket etc etc. So when did all this happen and continue to happen, within the FIRST DAY of ownership and continued until I traded the thing on a BMW R60/5.

The Trident could not be ridden above 4500rpm for many months due to Clutch Slippage and the Main Triumph Dealer in New South Wales had the Primary Case off countless times, the Rod Actuator seal replaced, the 'secret fix' oil return hole drilled in the inner Engine Case, all to no avail...... Did I mention 'Prince of Darkness' Lucas Electrics!!!

YAMAHA TX750 DOHC: The TX750 (original model) had a catastrophic unveiling in the Castrol 6 Hour Endurance Race, most of Australia's Yamaha linked 'A' Grade Riders were entered on the bikes and the Bikes all blew up, I'm half deaf and a couple blew up on Bitupave Hill in front of me, it was not a pleasant sound!

Apparently the oil quantity, or lack of it, was the culprit. I understand Yamaha increased the Sump capacity and added an Oil Cooler to subsequent models, problem fixed?, apparently.....

Triumph T150V, that Triplex Chain, Borg and Beck Dry (wet) Clutch, Amal Carbs etc etc.... grrrrr [web pic]

My actual T150V, no one in New South Wales could make this Bike reliable, not even the Main Triumph Dealer (unnamed)!!

Yamaha TX750, eeek, very embarassing at the Castrol 6 Hour Endurance Race, blow ups were standard equipment on the first model. [web pic]
