Hi symph
Theres a couple that stand out as being exeptional bikes at the time ..the one i regret selling most is my GS1000s..... I was obsessed with the thing & still am to the point i still regularly check if its still taxed etc .... would buy it back tomorrow given the chance !
The stock 1100efe was also a great bike, all day comfy & still able to see off bandits in all but the tightest of lanes !
All the GPZ900r's were great fun ... fast smooth & comfortable, i took the first to the IOM in 94 & there wasnt much went past me over the mountain on mad sunday !
Last but by no means least the RF900 ... bought as a cheap hack & absolutely loved the thing .... a very underated bike that can be had dirt cheap .... 160mph, comfy once i'd modded the fairing fitted renthals, capable of out handling a lot of much newer stuff in the twisties & easy to load pilly luggage etc for rallies .... all for 500 quid !
