I'm into classic bikes, I reckon many other members are also into classics.
I have a collection 70's, 80's and early 90's bikes.
I only have one 2 stroke, a 1972 Yamaha DT3 250 Enduro, my other 70's bike is a Honda CB360, bought because my first real bike was a cb250g5.
What classics do you own ?

I've got a number of bikes both British and Japanese, bought a 1924 350 AJS, 1954 B31 BSA and another Honda Fireblade last year but haven't had a chance to ride any last year because of the virus

Either you're very brave GL, or she doesn't have access to this site!

Actually it does raise the question of what's a classic and what's just an old bike.

I'm currently building a Norton Commando special (The Commando was never a classic IMO.), using a lot of parts from my Seeley Weslake Formula 750 race bike, which I personally think is a classic, but myself along with a few others had a hell of a job getting it eligible for CRMC racing.

I have a 1986 Kawasaki GPz750 A3 which I`ve owned for 13 yrs & added 50,000 miles to it. I`ve always maintained it myself & up until 2019, when I bought my BMW R1150RT, it was regularly ridden in all weathers. It is original apart from the exhaust(Motad Neta 4 into 1) & mirrors, although I still have the original mirrors for shows. I was going to sell it but because it has sentimental value (we`ve had some good times together) I decided to keep & semi-retire it to enjoy on good weather days.
