Lots of that sort of thing on show in my backyard this morning, as the adventure park held a downhill gig.
Mad bastards the lot of em
I thought you meant "real" bikes....and was looking forward to some great rides....But I have one of these as well....A GT Korakoran for pushbiking to work once a week. (25km from rural Kaiapoi to chch city once a week is enough at the moment!!!)
A Yamaha XV1000 that I got in 1991 and still ride and a Royal Enfield for shits and giggles....Man its fun too. All three are. Some good places to ride all three around the area. Especially the GT on the port hills or bottle lake.

Thats friggen cool FF

Still a few learnings for her but she loves it!
Kick starting has been a bit of an issue as the gear ratio from day 1 was shite!
Left foot brake and even though I have reversed the gear lever (now 1 down 3 up) it is a conscious choice when you need to brake in a hurry!
Very easy to smack the RH foot down and FA happens!

Old one almost all loaded up before a trip to Birdsville from Newcastle aussie 4 years ago and the one I got just before moving back from oz. Same model but one was 2003 and other 2013 (I think).
Not really flash bikes though

@Ryan_Songhurst I will post a non related bike photo for affect. One from a few years ago.
about 2009-10 maybe?
Its a 72 aussie assembled RHD Galaxie, 400 v8. Not road legal and heaps of rust. Sort of regret bringing it home. don't have the coin to fix it
back to bikes everyone.

Attachment 117611 Still got this old shitter. 2nd Owner quite a lot of goodies on and in it
It’ll run for ever mate
What sort of Hp and torque do those sort of bikes produce @Happy?
Flash as! I have an Epic too, but its just the basic comp alloy model. Still lighter than my old hardtail though!

Bought it about 6 months ago just getting back into MTB after a few years of hardly riding at all, already starting to think about future upgrades to something less XC and more trail oriented (probably a Trance or similar).
106 Hp from factory. This one has new computer, pipes. cam shafts changed etc so bit more
120 Foot pounds torque ex factory
Goes ok.
well i wish i had taken a photo: full suspension mountain bike (not expensive but...) after a rather major aftershock following the canterbury quakes, my dog took it out on the bike
tyres ofk rims, rims crushed, holes thru alloy frame. dont know what happened to the lights !
1986 Boom.. This is still in good nick... A keeper

Pretty much a snap for me. Bought the XL250RC in 1983 with about 1500km on the clock.

Traded it about a year later for a brand spanking XR200RD
The RC8 is 10 years old now and a bit of a beast. 170 Hp (factory) and 186kg. It has a full Akrapovic exhaust and quick shifter but apart from that pretty standard. The 790 Duke on the other hand has all the latest electronic bells and whistles - 4 ride modes, traction control, launch control, wheelie control, lean angle sensitive ABS, quick shifter and auto blipper. All of which you can turn off. I didn't think I would appreciate all the latest tech as much as I have but I have to admit it's pretty cool. It is an absolute hoot to ride.
This was my last roadie...now ride a Giant Trance X1 :D Looked heaps better when I imported some genuine bar end mirrors from Triumph in the UK.
