What have you owned, or what do you own?

It probably weighs 200lbs too. Like I said, I'd lower it, install clip-ons with a bar-end mirror and get rid of the fenders in a heartbeat.

I own my Suzuki GZ250 (2005) and a Yamaha VStar Classic 650 (2000)

Previously, a Honda Superhawk 305 - owned & rode 1972-74
Currently have a 1982 Puch moped (runs like new) and,
my favorite, a 1999 GZ250 w/just over 3100 miles on it.

Forgot- also had a Lambretta motorscooter in 1967-68. (wish I still had it now, probably be worth 100 times the $20 I bought it for back then).

Hi Sarris,
I know this is an old thread, but remembered you had owned a Drifter 800. I am looking at a 2002 in great condition with many upgrades for $3100. What are your thoughts on this model? Any info appreciated.

Bought mine, second hand, in 1964 (Lambretta LI 150) Cost me £50.

The worst thing about it was the headlamp. It was connected to the magneto, so if you slowed down because of bad road conditions, the light was only a glimmer, & it made things worse.
The best thing was the great big, comfortable, "tractor" saddles.

My 2003 GZ250
and (Finally) sold the 50cc Chinese scooter yesterday...That $450 will go a long way toward paying for the few things the GZ needs

Started on a 2 1/2 hp mini-bike
Moved up to a Honda CT (Trail)70 The one with the fold down handlebars!
Rode my cousins Honda 125 and 175 trail bikes for years on their farm in the 70's and 80's.

Bought my 1959 Lambretta LI 150 in 1965 for less than £50 (can't remember the exact price) but I remember that my wages as an apprentice electrician were way less than £10 a week.

Just found a coupla photos. The quality's crap, but - hey - we're talking +/- half a century here!

This is my mum & dad. The photo must have been taken somewhere between 1946 & 1950.




And this is me with my Lambretta in 1965. Oh to be 18 again!
