That's quite some "stable" you have there. how on earth do you decide which bike to ride on any given day. Or is that the secret and you have a day off each week?

Very nice collection, indeed.
Even the old CBF900 has a cool, old bike "cache" to it.
Had a 78 Honda CB400 T2 with Comstars a long time ago.

I generally only have 2 or 3 bikes on the road, the others are either being rested or worked on. It's a time thing, insurance is cheap as most are classic insured. The XBR is probably the one I like for knocking about, she's light and fun, great thumper but she lacks the legs for serious riding. You can't beat a Rex or the ZX for a long Sunday blast.

That ZX is definitely one to choose for a Sunday blast. I worked on a poorly sick one for a friend of mine once and then of course had to take it out for a test ride to make sure I'd done the work properly. It was a long and thorough test, putting the bike through its paces to make sure it was OK. I was gone for hours. Good job the weather was nice :sunny:

I'm considering doing a Café Racer job on the CB900. Friend of mine has done a CB750 and I love it.

Despite my dislike of most things Hinda the XBR was actually considered once. If you asked me nicely I could ride the Z900 for you, just to give it some up time

I love the XBR, great for a thrash about, light and narrow. And with the Predator pipe it don't half thump the air.... Not sure I could ever sell her.
