I've never owned a water called 4T, nor a bike with fuel injection.

One I'd like to rectify is not owning a bike with multiple cranks, designed rather than snapped for preference.

an auto blipper

still don't really understand what they do

I'm working my way through the options.
VTwin
Boxer
Italian
Nothing over 1200
No 6 cylinder bikes (yet)

I'm most like to tick VTwin or Boxer next. SDR or Guzzi Sports V1200.

Blip. Automatically. Duh!

Do you manually blip? If not this is probably the wrong thread to be explaining it

Bar-end tassles.

You'll be on to the clutchless shifting after that!

... a quick shifter. Until Saturday. Now I do.

... a fresh-from-the-showroom smell.

Nor any other vehicle as a matter of fact

Anything under 250cc.
Any electronic aids except my last one where I've reached the giddy heights of ABS.
Anything German or Italian.
No adventure bikes.

out anyone else having owned it first.
Shaft drive
Six cylinders
a 2 stroke triple engine
Harley written on the tank


Oh, a boxer...

I think I've made up for the forum's lack of boxers.....


Bikes I've never owned:
A hub-centre steered bike
A Girder forked bike (ridden yes, owned no)
A bike with leading or trailing link forks
A multi-crank engined bike.
A trike
A parallel twin (ridden yes, owned no)
A bike with slicks

Never had a Brit bike or a Yank one, never had German or Austrian. Never had traction control or a quick shifter. Never had a parallel twin or V4. Other than that I'm struggling.

All 4 Japanese manufacturers and Italian - tick.
Shaft and chain - tick.
Single, v twin, IL triple and IL 4cyl - tick.
2 and 4 stroke - tick.
Faired/unfaired - tick.
Air-cooled/liquid cooled - tick.
