    Alright I stole the idea from the cage forum :rolleyes:

    The year is 1991 and you are in the market for a new ride, what do you choose ?.

    Please post a pic and the reason why .


    My choice:

    1991 VS 1400 GLP Intruder

    1991_VS1400GLP_Intruder_450.jpg

    It's got shit brakes (single pot front :eek:), rock hard suspension but it'll make you look like a right hard ass in your denim sleeveless jacket :cool:

    This style appeals to me the most from 1991, still not a bad looking bike!

    Seriously???? You've never heard of a Honda Fireblade :eek:

    Back on point. It'd have to be an RC45 for me back in 1991 (assuming budget isn't an issue :D)

    Oooh so fragile, the smell of Castrol 2T and the dingdingding noise as it warmed gently before getting its nuts thrashed off on a back road. (I changed my mind, I want mine back)

    This thread makes me sad...

    1991 - It would have to be one of these new scoots I suppose with improved 5 port transfer barrel and that distinctive square headlight...

    get that knee down yay!!

    ...Tomohawk wins !!

    ...but in 1991 my SO was riding a P200E and saving for a new T5 Classic....which came in Spring '92........she took the bus to Jack Nolan's from Galway and drove it home :D

    Mind you, she had to drive it back when we discovered they mixed the reg's of two bikes on the same day, and the frame no's were wrong - had to cancel and re-reg them !!

    Will find a pic - I took a good one the day it arrived in fab Met Blue.
