Great tattoo for a scooterist.

Of all the bikes I've owned over the last 25yrs the Vespa PX200E was my favourite, absolutely loved it.

Regrettably I sold it to someone who thought better of it than to pay me, I believe its in crates in his shed or something and despite repeated calls and texts I haven't heard a word in over 12 months.. But I still have the paperwork on the bike so someday I'll have it back.

Thanks

Its the stupidest thing I done tbh.

I loved the bike but I wasn't using it at the time, my son was looking for money for a car so I decided the bike had to go - I believed it was going to a very good home.

In the end I ended up giving my son my own car, and I bought another bike (Zephyr in this thread)... Sorry for bringing the thread off topic but lesson learned - don't trust a soul with something you love.

Back on topic with a photo from yesteryear!.

Here's my one. before and one with the beast of an exhaust system
sorry about the pic quality!

Here's my beast. Does 240 miles/week without a bother on E12 of petrol. The 'saddlebag' aka kid's rucksack was 50c from a charity shop. I've had this bike for more than 3 years and it's up there with the GPz 550 I had years ago. Hardly ever get a nod from other bikers on it but that's their problem not mine. It doesn't owe me a penny but it does however need a new exhaust now so if anyone knows of one going cheap, preferably without holes ....:)

Could do with a wash and a non pink saddle bag but other than that its nice.

I like photos of bikes like that, little bruisers. Lots of character

Gave her a clean today after it got destroyed on the way home yesterday!



and installed my phone mount



Anyone know what this connection is for? I'm guessing it's for an Optimate or something like that..

Please Kill Me

You need to get yourself a couple of "46" decals in luminous yellow, and schtick them on the side there!!! :pac:

Savage machine mate, well wear!

Took my gsr out for its first proper run today, loved every minute of it.

Cracking bike there Kami - delighted for you! It does not seem like long since we went on a rideout and you had only just got your first bike, and now you have a blade! So do you intend to keep this for a while or will hyou get bored and want something else within a few months hehehehe! Busa maybe?

Was never a fan of Kawazaki but man, over the past couple of years it's getting harder and harder to ignore them! Great looking bike!

Good man Kami! I'm delighted for you! Those 'blades are simply brilliant bikes!

Have you opened the throttle wide yet? I remember the first time I gave mine the beans when I came back from buying her and the front wheel lifted effortlessly and I thought to myself "I'll be dead within a week"... lol

Not sure if that connection is for a standard aftermarket battery optimiser but I know for sure Honda didn't put it there! Did you ask the previous owner?

Anyway, keep her lit and shiny side up! And do me a favour, before you bring her to Anglesea, check how much new fairings are in a Honda dealership. You'll understand why I asked when you find out!

Gave her a good trashing on the way to and from work today (120 miles of twisties).

Yeah had the throttle wide open a few times and looked a bit like this while doing it:

I've never gotten to or from as work as fast as I did today LMAO

Looks exactly like the oximiser lead i fitted a while back. Check back and see if it connected directly to the batt terminals to be sure

Picture of my bike with the L plate removed. Yay. Just passed by UK Direct Access test.

Now for the difficult test of finding a new bike to replace it with.

thanks man,
really never liked them?
the engines are always crazy but rock solid,
we have 6 or so of them in various states of repair in the garage so Ive kind of got them beaten into me from young, always loved the ninja's haha
